SELF-HELP/Personal Growth Have you noticed that time does not heal all wounds? Has your world been rocked by abuse or trauma that your best intentions and modern self-help have failed to help? GROUNDED IN GRIT is personal development for women weighed down by crises or abuse, finally ready to become their own best advocate. Written by the author of multi-award -winning memoir Pieces of Me: Rescuing My Kidnapped Daughters, now the Lifetime TV movie Stolen By Their Father, this simple book shares tips and tricks on recovery learned by the author through her education, life experiences, inspirational podcast guests, and more than three decades of serving crime victims and offenders, lessons that allow challenges to refine rather than define us. By the end, you will learn: · Why it's critical to unpack and incorporate old wounds from the past rather than get over them. · Tips to manage thoughts and emotions. · Tactics on both getting and sustaining support from friends, family, and outside agencies. · How to turn your challenges into your superpowers.
