		<description><![CDATA[Now that I’ve retired from my private psychotherapy  practice I’m free to immerse myself in yoga once more.

		<description><![CDATA[Many survivors of child abuse tell me they don’t experience the emotion of anger. Biologically, anger is our warning sign that something is wrong for us. We know we’re angry because we feel it in our bodies. What happens, then, to prevent many victims of abuse from experiencing this warning sign? In Confessions of a Trauma [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those of us who are adult survivors of child sexual abuse are good at looking good. After all, we’ve kept a terrible secret throughout our childhood and often into adulthood.
