In my memoir CRAVING SPRING, I write about difficult transitions:
from mothering a child to guiding a young adult
from struggling to communicate with a teenager to strengthening the mother-daughter bond
from thinking addiction happens to other people to realizing we all live on the spectrum of attachment
from feeling traumatized and wanting to solve a child’s struggles to staying with the discomfort and trusting her process
from searching for answers to being content not knowing
