About this book
Here is the amazing trajectory of five patients who overcame enormous traumas and came out of them stronger, as true heroes. With the narrative gift of a novelist, psychotherapist Catherine Gildiner tells us in detail about her struggles and the road to recovery, as well as her own learning and evolution as a therapist. The five cases are: a much-admired and at the same time lonely musician who suffered from sexual dysfunction; a young woman whose father abandoned her and her siblings in a cabin in the middle of a forest; an indigenous man who had endured terribly traumatic circumstances in a residential school; a young woman whose childhood abuse had created a serious personality disorder, and a glamorous workaholic professional who, as a child, was greeted by her mother every morning with a "Good morning, monster". Each patient goes to Dr. Gildiner to solve an immediate problem but, little by little, she discovers that the origin of their suffering has long been buried. Facing that reality will require self-reflection, courage, stoicism, perseverance and forgiveness in their unwavering determination to face their monsters.
