Wrestling Ghosts

Kim knows she is not a natural mother - she shrinks from the touch of her adorable little boys. Faced with a constant inner reproach, she embarks on an extremely difficult journey to overcome her unhappiness and become able to give her kids the warmth and attention they deserve. As she digs deeper, she learns about the new science of childhood trauma and how it physically changes the brain, trapping a person in a neurological straightjacket. With relentless self-awareness, amazing openness, and devastating honesty, this extraordinary ordinary woman becomes a soul warrior, doing battle with the traumas of her past in order to create a new present and future for her and her family.
