Little Girl Found: A German Woman'S Story of Tuberculosis, Trauma, and Healing (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781982202491)

In 1963, at the age of three, Kerstin contracted tuberculosis and spent more than a year in a childrens hospital, or Kinderklinik, in southern Germany, separated from her family. For a long time, the impact of her early childhood trauma on her psyche and soul remained hidden in her subconscious until the psychological symptoms surfaced in adulthood. In group therapy, Kerstin uncovers the power of writing. The creative voice inside her awakens as she opens her heart to powerful spiritual experiences. With the help of a trauma psychologist, she faces her early creation of a false self, proving her youthful resilience. She eventually returns to the Kinderklinik and finds her way back to her true self. Integrating the present and past, author Kerstin White describes her healing techniques and therapeutic modalities, including energy work and sandplay therapy. Using writing that is intimate and evocative, Little Girl Found is an endearing, deeply moving memoir about the soul of a child, the healing power of art, and the grace of God.
