Trauma's Worth (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798349463730)

Trauma's Worth by Dr. Heather Sieben Bell is an unflinching, deeply personal reflection on strength, trauma, and the lifelong journey to self-worth. Heather chronicles her experiences with abandonment, loss, and repeated patterns of unhealthy attachment, rooted in childhood and compounded by life's ruthless trials. From the trauma of her birth, where initial detachment shaped her struggles with connection, to the dissolution of her marriage and betrayals by those closest to her, Heather reveals the raw complexity of her pain. Directing relationships marred by a lack of attunement, Heather examines how unhealed wounds and societal pressures distorted her sense of self. Through candid recollections of loss, heartbreak, and moments of fleeting hope, she uncovers the deep-seated need to be "chosen" and loved for her authentic self. Ultimately, this is a story of survival-of breaking patterns, seeking forgiveness, and finding grace. Heather's journey is about reclaiming her voice, embracing her worth, and learning to trust the process of healing. Her unshakable love for her children serves as both an anchor and a purpose, ensuring they experience the safety and belonging she often longed for. Raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful, Trauma's Worth reminds us of the strength in survival and the power of choosing ourselves.
