Thank you so much for reading it. I’d love to connect! My book dealing with complex trauma while raising a teen will come out in the fall of 2025. It chronicles my struggles with parenting, marriage, and mental health, alternating between my current life as a wife and mother of a teenage son and my troubled upbringing by my emotionally distant parents in Japan.

I will look forward to reading your book. Louis Allen, MD, FAAP, MPH

Trauma started at 14 continuing until 19 with a predator 9 years my senior. Then narcissist husband. 4 kids with varying forms of (C)PTSD, autoimmune disorders, ADHD, etc. They are now 21-30.

Receiving and reading your article this morning, exactly when I’ve just begun my journey for understanding, is nothing short of a miracle. I feel like I’ve been drifting in a lifeboat for such a long time and you just threw me a lifeline.

I went to Tufts University and am an engineering project manager. I deal with life by learning everything I can about topics as they present themselves. I’ve never wanted to learn about anything more passionately and you are the expert.

Please contact me so that I can find out more.
