Trauma and the golden lady

Essentially, my book describes the challenges encountered by a unique, beautiful individual, a "golden lady," as she passionately sought to achieve fulfillment and well being. Ring a bell? Isn't this what we all try to do? Factors within and outside of her helped or impeded her along the way. I believe, to some degree, we may all identify with Sylvia Plath's challenges. Some may identify with her more intimately than others. I work in psychotherapy with many who do. My hope is that, as with my clients, readers of my book see not only what may impede well-being, but, by seeing Sylvia's challenges and discovering and dealing with one's own, discover ways to face hurt, fear and distress in healthy and constructive ways and achieve their own unique fulfillment and well being. Although Sylvia's life abruptly stopped her quest (I leave the reasons for this to each reader's self-reflection), she clearly left us all with many "gifts," if we look hard enough within ourselves to find them.
