"Robin Marvel's Healing Childhood Trauma shares the wisdom of what her experience with the pain and trauma of life taught her. When we ask ourselves what the pain of our experience feels like, the words we use tell us what needs to be eliminated from life that will allow us to heal."
-- Bernie Siegel, MD, author of 365 Prescriptions For the Soul and The Art of Healing

"Robin Marvel hits a homerun with Healing Childhood Trauma. It's not just a book for reading--it's also a workbook that helps the adult survivor of childhood trauma find a new focus and develop new understanding of themselves while embarking on a healing journey."
-- John Patrick McCarron, Louisiana ambassador, National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse

"Healing Childhood Trauma provides insights and personal growth tips that will give the reader the permission to approach trauma in a positive way. The hands-on approach with self-reflection exercises throughout this book will help move PTSD victims to champions of life. This is the go-to book on recovering from childhood trauma. Bravo!"

"Robin's basic message is that each of us has the power of choice: to change our self-perception, to forgive others, to be grateful, to heal and to take action. More importantly, readers will understand that there is no set timeline for healing. Each of us is unique and responds to trauma and adversity in our own per­sonal way. Robin herself is a pillar of strength, wisdom and guidance that inspires all of us to take control of our lives and make the difference our world needs."
-- Anita Casalina, writer and director of Imaginary Walls: A Film About Healing Racism

"In a personal yet poignant voice, Healing Childhood Trauma by Robin Marvel helps us understand why some people remain defined by their childhood trauma while others define new empowered paths of healing and growth. Marvel weaves together a compassionate blend of trauma exploration and anecdotal evidence supported with self-help exercises, mapping out a process for readers to transform their pain into purpose. This little book is not light. It just may change your perspective on how you live the rest of your life"
-- Holli Kenley, MA, MFT, author of Daughters Betrayed By Their Mothers: Moving From Brokenness To Wholeness

Healing Childhood Trauma by Robin Marvel is a memoir of terror that evolves into a book of instruction and guidance toward self-awareness and healing. Marvel has written an easy, readable book in the field of PTSD by creating space for the reader to reflect on, respond to and learn about personal childhood trauma that creeps into adulthood in a silent stream of actions and reactions. As Marvel explains, "Trauma creates changes you do not choose; healing is about creating change you do choose." The spaces provided for inner healing journaling bring the reader into many of the needed steps to recovery. I especially liked the exercise, "Forgiveness Release" using rocks! Marvel's newest book is for anyone who experienced childhood trauma of any kind and needs to begin the journey of healing and recovery.

Robin Marvel does an excellent job of guiding those who have experienced childhood trauma into a place of healing and empow-erment. She helps the reader re-identify their traumas from a victim mindset to viewing their experiences as something that they have survived from and therefore have gained strength from. With this new found power and empathy, Robin en-cour-ages her readers to continue their healing by helping others who struggle with similar traumas. Ultimately through this book, Robin serves as a beacon to help others discover their light and shine it into the darkness of their deepest wounds so they may heal and re-gain better control of their life again.
