Your heart extends out many feet before you,
and it was wonderful just to be in your lovely soft presence.

Author Robin Lynn Brooks wrote the book, an instrumental part of her healing.
She collaborated with trauma specialist Dr. AnDréya Wilde who organized the poems clinically to follow the natural order of healing. Dr. Wilde also wrote the Foreword.
Dr. AnDréya Wilde holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and has been in private practice for over 35 years, specializing in both relationship issues and in PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). She has worked extensively with individuals and couples who have experienced all forms of trauma originating from emotional issues in childhood, as well as with survivors of sexual, psychological, physical, and psychic abuse.
Dr. Wilde has, for 12 years, been a senior clinical consultant working with Vietnam veterans who have experienced PTSD from serving in Vietnam. She has also provided couples therapy as well as individual work with their partners. Dr. Wilde emphasizes the importance of integrating spiritual as well as emotional healing in whatever context resonates for each client. She believes that the actual heart of healing not only involves healing one’s current past, but that true healing also involves learning to live fully in one's Present.
