Synopsis

This small, succinct, and healing book offers a bit of wisdom on each page - expertise and advice that Kathy Martin, the author’s therapist for thirteen years, gave to help her heal from a “fragmented psyche” and post-traumatic stress disorder (resulting from a childhood of violence and abuse). The author, in turn, became a life coach and counselor. Her clients, as well as friends and associates, found these bits of wisdom helpful, so she collected them into a book.

Readers will be validated, calmed, and inspired by the words and experiences of someone like themselves who triumphed over extreme emotional upheavals, hopelessness, and depression. When emotional pain seems to take you over, Kathy Said, You’re Not Lost to Me is a book to be read, and then referred to again and again for solid guidance and inspiration.

TESTIMONIALS

“This is a gem of a book. It speaks of real life drama, of personal anguish and then grateful healing and recovery. It is one more testament to the courage of the individual, the message of the Twelve-Step Program, and the wisdom of a committed therapist. The section on the interaction of the therapist and the patient is particularly well done. I highly recommend it.” —Jack McIntyre, Past President, American Psychiatric Association
