Summary

What happens when a trauma therapist is traumatized by loss?Esteemed trauma therapist Meghan Riordan Jarvis knew how to help her patients process grief. For nearly twenty years, Jarvis expected that this clinical training would inoculate her against the effects of personal trauma. But when her father died after a year-long battle with cancer, followed by her mother’s unexpected passing while on their family vacation, she came undone.Thrown into a maelstrom of grief, with long-buried childhood tragedy rising to the surface, Jarvis knew what she had to do―check herself into the same trauma facility to which she often sent her clients. In treatment, trading the therapist’s chair for the patient’s couch, Jarvis took her first steps toward healing.
