Rapunzel, I just worked through some stuff recently with my T about past trauma that was holding me up in therapy. I also have other past trauma affecting a major life event now, so I can totally relate to what you wrote. I think the book you recommended is one I would like to look at too. Thanks for the recommendation.

The author, Tian Dayton, wrote another book that I really like called Daily Affirmations for Forgiving and Moving On: Powerful Inspiration for Personal Change. I found this book very inspiring. Each page has a different affirmation/topic. You can read 1 at a sitting or 10 or the whole book. I found Dayton, who is a psychodramatist, to be very insightful. A lot of what she wrote was directly relevant to what I am going through and very helpful. In fact, I think I need to go read some Tian Dayton right now!

P.S. maybe we should have a book thread in this forum where people can post about books they have found helpful. I've found a number of good suggestions from people here.
