“Dr. Cindy Brooks Dollar shares a deeply personal narrative of how the experiences of trauma shifts over a survivor's life, disrupting developmental milestones, teaching false beliefs about one's self-worth and value, and shaping relationships. In doing so, Dr. Dollar provides insight into not only body-based healing, but also the power of self-narrative and creative expression to resist societal inequities and move toward justice and liberation.”—Anneliese A. Singh, Associate Provost for Diversity, Professor of Social Work and Psychology, Tulane University
