Journey of Reflection : A Collection of Poems
Overview
An inspiring true story of strength and resiliency
After losing her six-figure job, Helen was determined to understand, overcome, and heal from her past and finally live her purpose to share her story. Journey of Reflection is a collection of poems written to help create a personal path to healing from childhood trauma. "Discovering the power of healing through the writing of poetry." Alongside clinical therapy, the author began writing poetry, allowing her the outlet to release repressed emotions from unresolved childhood trauma. Several poems described are written and titled through a child's voice (the inner child). The poems detail feelings and emotions with specific memories of the physical and emotional abuse inflicted by her father, and the struggles she endured in relationships, education, and career. Many other poems are about hope, purpose, and determination, written with great strength and inspiration. At 49 years of age, Helen started clinical therapy for the first time when she began recognizing that the lifelong effects of trauma were affecting her. Several poems were read in her therapy sessions to help her process those very difficult experiences that ultimately led to her mental health diagnosis. As a survivor of child abuse, the author compiled her poems into this collection to begin a new journey to share her story to bring greater awareness about the effects of childhood trauma and mental health, including the need for trauma-informed care practice.
