About this listen

Carol E. Miller was 16 when the private plane piloted by her father crashed, pinning her in the wreckage, critically injuring her parents, and killing her 12-year-old sister. Compounding this traumatic event, her father told her he wished she had died instead of her sister. For the next 20 years, she labored under feelings of guilt and a lack of self-worth.

When another in a long line of personal crises landed her in therapy with an EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) practitioner, she began at last to investigate the crippling effects of the plane crash. Using bilateral stimulation to access her fiercely guarded memories, she learned to challenge the belief that the crash was all her fault and that she didn't deserve to be alive.

This is a brave and revealing memoir of recovery from tragedy and a fascinating, vividly narrated exploration of the increasingly popular eye-movement therapy developed to heal the wounds trauma leaves in its wake.

Excellent, w/ rare insights into trauma

I do a fair amount of audio books and found this to be in the top tier. The writing is poetic, the tone intimate, and the content describes an inner process we rarely get to view: our own, or that of others.' While the dramatic audio performance is excellent, my one complaint is that, especially in the early chapters, Flanagan takes long, unnecessary pauses between every single sentence, which I found quite tedious until I resigned to it. Otherwise, and all in all, her voice is pleasant and captivating and the memoir wonderful: an extremely useful and important addition to the genre.

Interesting take on EMDR

I read this book because I was interested in learning more about EMDR. It was very brave of Carol to share her story with the world. I am not sure if I am sold on the process of EMDR but I am glad she found healing with it.

I think that it was worth the read and educational! I would recommend this book for those who like memoirs or just want to learn more about the experience of EMDR.

Totally Mesmerizing and Much Better Than Fiction!

I knew it would keep my interest, as I have a degree in psychology, but I didn't think I'd hang onto every word of Carol's "life story" as she went through the process of sorting her life out. She has had extraordinary things happen to her, mostly things none of us would have wished for--from having multiple abusive parents to being in an airplane crash.

Carol's life was not going the way she felt it should and finally convinced herself to give therapy another chance. It was the most 'right' thing she ever did.

Listen to her story. It is amazing and fascinating. Every word of it! If you are at all like me, you will be mesmerized at how the therapy plays out, particularly as she is referred to an EMDR therapist. What is EMDR? Read this book and learn about how this almost magical yet highly regarded technique works.

Narrated by Lisa Flanagan--I had to keep reminding myself she wasn't the author. She was awesome!

Most highly recommended!

Great Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I love wondered how this type of therapy works since the 1st time I saw it. As a person who suffers from PTSD & night terrors this gives me hope for a better future with treatment. I will be calling locally to see who offers it. It was truly enlightening.

Good book

Great story about Carol, her post-trauma struggles / stuck points, and healing through EMDR and cognitive restructuring. VERY well-written and performed, but really wish she'd left out the fairly vivid details regarding sexual encounters. The point being made about her sense of self-worth, etc. could have easily been communicated without it reading like an erotic novel. Just a bit too much information for me at times and unnecessary to the overall story, in my humble view. That was my only complaint though. Overall very good. Talented writer! Definitely drew me into her story.
