Dancing with the Darkness : Moving Through Postnatal Depression

"Dancing With The Darkness" is a book about hope! It is meant to create points of light in the darkness of postnatal depression. We all arrive in the darkness via different routes, and so, our journey towards the light will be defined by our own needs. This book aims to remind us that true healing is in our hands and requires our wisdom and instinct to get there. Written in bursts of inspiration, so as not to overwhelm the exhausted mind, this book provides moments of rest and reminders to keep hoping.
