Holding Onto Air: The Art and Science of Building a Resilient Spirit - Paperback
by Michele DeMarco (Author)
A top mental health writer, trauma researcher, and survivor illuminates the dual nature of loss--the science behind it and art of transforming it with a breakthrough book and truly holistic approach.
After experiencing two rare heart attacks at the age of 33--and a third a decade later, DeMarco knows trauma intimately. Trauma breaks your relationship with time by upending your expectations, fracturing your memories and identity, and destroying your innocence. With poignant wisdom and refreshing insight DeMarco explodes traditional myths of resilience and shows what it takes to thrive through any of life's challenges. DeMarco situates meaningful challenge and loss specifically in the context of "lost innocence," and challenges common notions that we can think our way out of despair and back to a "normal" happy life when the unimaginable shatters it.Michele DeMarco, Ph.D. is an award-winning writer and published author in the fields of psychology, trauma, health, and spirituality, and is a professionally trained therapist, clinical ethicist, and trauma researcher specializing in moral injury and resilience.
