Book Preview:

#1 We are all susceptible to the effects of trauma and loss. They can strike us down in a fraction of a second, and we can be utterly devastated. We become hopelessly frozen by terror and helplessness.

#2 I was hit by a car while crossing the street. I was sent flying, and when I came to, I was lying on the road, unable to move or breathe. I was terrified that I had a broken neck. I was confused and unable to think clearly. I needed someone to hold onto.

#3 I am rushed to the hospital, and as I am being stretchered into the emergency room, I hear a garbled radio communication requesting a full trauma team. My heart sinks. I am afraid that my injuries may require the major trauma center in La Jolla, some thirty miles away.

#4 I feel a strong tension developing from the spine in my upper back. I sense my right arm wanting to extend outward, and I see a momentary flash. The black asphalt rushes toward me, and my hand slapping the pavement feels like a raw burning sensation. I feel tremendous relief, along with a deep sense of gratitude that my body did not betray me.
