Speaking with Kelly Wallace on her Recognize Your Power podcast about the steep challenges and costs, but also potential transcendence, of writing childhood trauma
Thank you for this bit of wisdom and reality. I am currently shopping my memoir about father-daughter incest. Because it is a hybrid, I am hoping to rise above the sea of other stories. I am proud of my book and will self-publish if I must. If anyone is interested, my book's site is a www.randajodowns.com
I loved The Part That Burns. Gave me so much hope.
I just looked up your profile and see that you research and write in the realm of child welfare? That's what we need more of. I am so grateful to you for your service in the field. And I wish you all the best for your memoir. There is a place for it. Don't let my pragmatism or realistic acknowledgement of the challenges dissuade you in any way (and it sounds like you already know that!). Keep going! xoxo
Jeannine, your sincerity in sharing the power of writing about our childhood trauma and the costs, was so skillfully done. I also appreciated your acknowledgement of the women writrs before you, and the gift we who rise on their backs have been given to help other women step into their best possible lives. Thank you.
