Conversation with Author Susan Gold - Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma

Susan Gold was raised in a challenging and chaotic family system, the middle child of five. To fully thrive, she bravely chose to meet the demons of her upbringing that were continuing to repeat. Her book, Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom is about that journey.In a small rural town in central Pennsylvania, young Susie is facing trauma as the middle child in a violent and chaotic household. Her brilliant, alcoholic, astrophysicist father and equally ingenious mentally ill, home-making mother have collided in dysfunction. Creating five children in short succession with covert and overt abuse running rampant.  A riveting and intense chronicle of a childhood filled with harsh initiations all led to a masterful and thought-provoking transformation. The ebullient belief and determination of a young girl with a vision who would not bend to self-destruct but rather would convert her experience to triumph are told masterfully in this stunning work. Susan leaves us with support and practical tools she uses today to move forward. Centered around each sections theme: breathwork, journaling, meditation, movement, all combined in a creative healing process. She is leading retreats, webinars, workshops and private sessions to help others drop outdated storylines and programming in exchange for living from the heart in authentic freedom as adults. For more, visit: https://www.susangold.us/ Send us Fan MailSupport the showContact me at: [email protected] out and follow on IG - @postcardstotheuniversehttps://linktr.ee/postcardstotheuniverseThank you and keep listening for more great shows!
