Produktbeschreibung
"The Blooming of the Lotus for Professionals" is a unique resource for all those professionals who impact the lives of survivors of childhood incest and sexual abuse. Survivors often feel alone in their experiences, with emotions that linger long after the trauma is over. In her groundbreaking poetic memoir, "The Blooming of the Lotus: a spiritual journey from trauma into light," Robin Lynn Brooks takes survivors on her deeply personal journey of healing. As she travels on her awe-inspiring quest down into the abyss and back out again, she lets survivors know they are not alone. "I have heard many accounts of trauma over the years, yet it is rare to come upon one captured so perfectly and expressed with such candor, beauty, and grace…. Robin poignantly reveals her deepest vulnerability in an effort to share her story and healing process with other survivors. With great success Robin conveys that the journey from the darkest imprisonment to the light of freedom is indeed possible. This memoir is Robin's gift to us all." ~ AnDréya Wilde, Ph.D. In this companion piece to the original "The Blooming of the Lotus," Brooks begins "The Blooming of the Lotus for Professionals" with her address to the Domestic Violence Task Force in Greenfield, MA, in 2016. This is followed by further information about the repercussions of being a survivor-all from a survivor's viewpoint-as well as specific recommendations for therapists, healers, educators, medical professionals, judges, and other supporters of survivors. Included is a grouping of poems from her original book, which-though much abbreviated-still gives a sense of her story and the progression of her healing journey. This book was written in collaboration with trauma specialist Dr. AnDréya Wilde.
Autorenporträt
Robin Lynn Brooks is an incest survivor. She is a published poet and playwright, and her art has traveled nationwide. She has a Masters in Sculpture from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Her last body of work, Earth Mothers, is a series of life-size and larger women made of earth. She is also a book designer. Robin's follow-up book for survivors, The Healing of the Lotus, is a collection of essays offering healing and guidance for the daily challenges of life after trauma. She is also working on several other healing books for survivors of childhood incest and abuse. The earth is vital to Robin, as are the elements of nature. She lives in western Massachusetts on an old farm that borders the state forest. It was here that she found her first mothering-in the earth. The white pines behind her house shelter her. The Lake in the woods is her temple. This was the place of nurturance that gave her the support to heal and to create this book. Robin is available for very select speaking engagements, including teaching/healing talks & readings, keynotes, and workshops. For more information, please visit www.bloomingofthelotus.com.
