Böcker av Samantha Harte

Turning trauma into triumph ​Samantha Harte has had her share of heartbreak. Now fourteen years sober, she has suffered through her mother's mental illness; betrayal by partners; the loss of her sister, friends, and father; multiple miscarriages; and her addiction to drugs and alcohol. Desperate for a path through the pain, she was forced to confront the hardwiring toward perfectionism that kept her sick and embrace the rewiring required to truly recover and heal. Through her medical practice, Samantha came to realize that, whether we're addicted or not, we all suffer from some degree of soul sickness. We navigate love and loss throughout our lives with little or no guidance, often fumbling our way through with self-sabotaging behaviors. Despite her initial resistance to the well-known Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, Samantha eventually reimagined them so that they worked in her own life. In the process, she discovered that the spiritual concepts in each step have universal application and can help people learn new ways of navigating adversity--not just addiction. In this book, she shows you how you, too, can change your life with the power of these steps. This is a book for anyone who has tried everything and failed, on a soul level, to navigate life's hardest things. Samantha's harrowing yet hopeful journey is a testament to each person's power to turn trauma and pain into triumph and joy.
