Alison Perry-Davies – författare

Over the past six decades, Ali Perry-Davies has learned many lessons about how trauma can impact our lives and what we can do to to bring balance and joy and thrive in a world that suggests surviving is enough. In this book, she shares her own history with trauma and the long and winding path she has taken toward healing. Ali''s studies have taken her deeper into understanding the science behind how trauma impacts our bodies and how creativity can bring healing. Years of study about minds, emotions, and spirituality have been combined with her own experience of forgiveness and creativity, to guide the reader on the healing path. She shows how trauma can show up in our lives and ways to combat triggers, with many creative outlets and tools such as meditation, relaxation, and mindfulness. She has found ways to heal and love and not just to accept our differences but celebrate them.

Through it all, she shares an important message: There is always hope; you too can find love, peace, balance and so much joy!
