Wounded Healer

Surviving Childhood Trauma

Beschreibung

Wounded Healer chronicles author Lee Lyttle's childhood sexual abuse by an older babysitter, how the author learned to cope and come to terms with this experience and how he came to help other victims and advance a greater understanding of the trauma and actions needed to overcome and prevent childhood sexual abuse. Lee's memoir is a testament to the power of vulnerability and candidness in recovery. Lee is embracing their story and giving you a glimpse into the process, which will hopefully empower your own healing. Not only does the book contain poetry in the literal sense, but the entire work is also a work of poetry in action and recovery as an art form.

About the AuthorTwenty-four years of professional and personal experience with addictions and mental illness have led Lee Lyttle to the conclusion that we are all imperfect... and that is a-okay. His memoir, Wounded Healer traces his healing journey through childhood trauma, addictions, and mental illness. His hope is to share how creativity and imagination, music, and art, can help people cope in a positive way with trauma of any nature, and he aims to support other male survivors of child sexual abuse, childhood trauma, addictions, or mental illness.In Wounded Healer, Lee shares his raw personal story and truths he's learned about healing from traumatic experiences. It demonstrates how his insights into creativity and the power of the imagination enabled him to take difficult experiences and lean into them, a process, which set him on a path of continually seeking and reaching new edges in life. Lee believes tremendous healing occurs the minute we share our stories honestly with others who have experienced similar difficulties, and that expressing our true identity is the greatest medicine we can ever find. With 10 years of experience working as a therapist for people who have suffered traumatic brain injury, Lee's insights and training into psychology and behaviour-amplified by his artistic endeavours-have given him the ability to explore trauma healing from a variety of perspectives: experientially and academically, as well as vocationally. Combining insights from western mainstream psychology and Traditional First Nations wisdom and practice through the concept of "Two-Eyed seeing" allow Lee to bring clients to a place of wholeness and wellness. Lee extends his healing work with various methods of healing he has learned through 12-Step support groups, religion, and various aspects of spirituality. Lee received a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Behavioural Sciences from McMaster University and he is a registered member of the Ontario College of Social Work and Social Service Workers. He is currently a mental health worker serving families on the reserve in Attawapiskat First Nation, Ontario Canada.
