Early personal identity and character are built, piece by piece, from childhood experiences that color our lives long after those events have faded from view. In cases of personal shock or abuse, deep parts of the self can be thrown into chaos. Not only the outer layers but also subtler areas such as inner identity and gender. In this true story of survival by two fragile teenagers, every layer of their identity is put to the test. They resist, battle and run, trying to escape a dark family secret, drugs, and toxic, picture-perfect suburban home lives. Things quickly get complicated. "What are you suggesting?" asked the doctor.

Inspiring, touching and scorchingly honest, 'Shivers, Slaps and Silence' is an intense, unforgettable journey, wildly paced and tinged with the sort of passion, unexpected humor and optimism that teenagers do best.

Have you ever stopped and thought about why you parent your child the way that you do? Where did these practices come from? Why do you expect your children to respond to them in a particular way? Oftentimes, our parenting philosophies are rooted in what we experienced in our own childhoods. Perhaps your parents told you to "stop crying!" when you were upset as a child, so now you do the same with your kids. Now as an adult, do you struggle with expressing and processing your emotions in a healthy way or even in general? Is the continuation of this parenting philosophy preventing your kids from learning how to do so?Using examples from my own childhood and parenting journey, The Parent Trap aims to help you explore some of the parenting philosophies you grew up under, understand their potential impact on you as both a child and adult, and determine if it's the best way to parent your own children. Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn't mean it's the best way for you or your children. Taking an honest look at how our parenting style impacts our children can be hard, but it can also lead you down a path that promotes healthy and fruitful family dynamics for generations to come. Join me on this journey and let's start healing together!
