Check it out here. More on Melissa Rodway:My name is Melissa Rodway. I grew up in a small (but not remote, there is a difference) town in Ontario. When I was six, we spent a year in Roleystone (very small, very remote bush town) in Western Australia. It was during this time that my dad kept reinforcing that life exists everywhere, and not just in our small, but not remote, Ontario town. That year, we were frequently packed into a camper van, discovering almost every nook and cranny of Australia, New Zealand and Bali.At heart, I am a true Canadiana girl. I have lived in Port Perry, Ontario (see opening paragraph), Jasper, Alberta, Victoria, British Columbia, Montréal, Québec, and Barrie, Ontario (don't knock it 'til you try it). I currently live in Toronto, Ontario. I love the anonymity and infinite opportunities only found in a big city, while also enjoying the many outdoor adventures that this province provides. I still get excited about each change of season and the new pace of life it brings.

Childhood trauma can turn into CPTSD which has pervasive symptoms throughout your life, but you can learn to heal from childhood trauma. Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership Emotional Flashbacks video: https://youtu.be/oVLHysMGi8o?si=oJZy76o957LNranw Relationships after Childhood Trauma: Coming soon Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker is a compassionate, practical guide for understanding and healing childhood trauma, CPTSD, and complex trauma. Walker explains how chronic abuse or neglect in childhood wires the nervous system for danger, leading to symptoms like emotional flashbacks, toxic shame, harsh inner critic attacks, and difficulty with boundaries. He introduces the 4F survival responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—showing how they develop as protective adaptations to childhood trauma but can block healthy adult relationships. Healing, he says, begins with recognizing emotional flashbacks, shrinking the inner critic, and practicing self-compassion through “reparenting” the inner child. Walker emphasizes building healthy boundaries, grieving childhood losses, and replacing self-abandonment with self-protection. His approach blends psychoeducation, practical tools, and validation, empowering survivors to reclaim self-worth, safety, and connection. Ultimately, the book offers a hopeful roadmap for healing complex trauma—moving from a life shaped by survival to one grounded in presence, love, and resilience.
