About the Author

Alison Marie demonstrates her hope through her Christian belief and ability to work through personal trauma. Her life story is a perfect example of Jesus Christ's grace, mercy, forgiveness, and redemption. She firmly believes that through Christ, you can find freedom to be your true self and can break free of any abuse and self-contempt that may be controlling your life.

After leaving her abusive marriage, Alison raised three children as a single parent and earned a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, writing her thesis on the place of religion and spirituality in the counselling process. She went on to work as a counsellor and eventually established her own counselling practice. She continues to research the effects of childhood trauma, the connections between childhood trauma and brain development, and the long-term effects of stress on our physical and psychological health.

Alison Marie lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, with her younger daughter.
