Holding the tension between the bad that was and the good that is and can be, this memoir is a turnabout tale of discovering self-worth and learning to heal a dysregulated nervous system by coming to terms with a traumatic past, imparting levity whenever possible, and cultivating a deep sense of belief.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67971335520479,"sku":"9798330449378","price":28.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/kRzjPQtJN49798330449378.webp?v=1791795153"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/rachelle-atkins.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
