WITH BROKEN WINGS is a riveting and engrossing memoir about one
woman's courage and perseverance in battling through, first,
childhood sexual abuse and, later on, horrific physical and sexual
abuse as an adult. It is a true story told in raw and honest
details; a story of heart-wrenching losses, discovery, unwavering
resilience and faith. Jerie Catillo's story is a beautiful gift
because of her rare ability and willingness to bare her soul to the
universe; and because of her passion to reveal the healing she
received after she poured out her broken self to others. WITH
BROKEN WINGS speaks of Jerie Catillo's fight to move forward in her
life-despite all she had to leave behind. It speaks of her
transformation from a broken and torn woman to a woman who has been
set free and who has jubilantly reclaimed her magnificent self and
voice.
Dr Kelly Brogan, New York Times bestselling author and holistic
psychiatrist, proposes an alternative to medicating mental, emotional
and physical pain away.
'[Will] change how you approach your health and mental wellbeing.'
Sarah Gottfried, author of The Hormone Cure.
For years, we've been telling ourselves that our difficult feelings -
sadness, rage, shame, intensity, worry - are somehow 'not okay'. All
too often, we've relied on the promise of pharmaceuticals to tamp them
down. The fact is that these feelings are a vital part of our
experience. They are real. And those of us who feel them most strongly
are the canaries in the coal mine - sensitive to things that are
seriously wrong in the world today.
In a book that's both provocative and promising, holistic psychiatrist
Kelly Brogan MD shows us that we don't have to medicate our mental,
emotional and physical pain away - that the best way out is through.
Then she charts a new path to get real, get well and get free. The
journey includes:
- Coming to a new appreciation of the meaning behind symptoms
- Exploring the 5 reversible physical drivers of so-called mental
illness
- Starting a process of radical physical healing with inclusive
details of Dr Brogan's history-making 30-day protocol
- Taking a deeper dive into the spiritual awakening and expansion
that comes when you reclaim your real self from conventional medicine
Our experiences, Dr Brogan argues, aren't problems or pathologies; they
reflect what we need to accept, acknowledge and transform in order to
truly become who we are. Own Your Self is a journey of healing and
coming home to ourselves.

Mind-altering drugs shackle her father to dementia. As if it
were a holding pen for rotting trash, authorities in the nursing
home system dispensed him to that dark cell.
For the second time in their lives, Judy desperately searches
for the answer to free her father. While growing up in an alcoholic
environment, she struggled to find what drove him to drink. She was
sure if she found it she could cure her father of alcoholism and
make everyone happy.
Judy finds the liberating key to his present imprisonment, but
she cannot turn the lock until she revisits and reveals the
shameful secret carefully and faithfully guarded for decades. While
doing so, she confronts her fears and emotional wounds carved
within a dysfunctional family. That is not enough, though, to
rescue him, for the two are now ensnared by an unfamiliar adversary
nursing home neglect and abuse that Judy must battle every day for
her defenseless father.
Through it all she longs for him to believe he is and always was
important, worthy, loved. Are you a child of an alcoholic? a
caregiver of the elderly? a seeker of love s passages? This
heart-gripping story shares pain and victory.
""Before the Door Closes" is very well written and revealing of
the pains and triumphs of Judith Hall Simon's journey with an
alcoholic father. While reading this book I felt that I was reading
the journey of only one person not two. Judith reveals just how
overwhelming an alcoholic father can be and how one's identity can
be taken over by an alcoholic parent. Her book teaches and touches
at the same time. I recommend it to the millions of adult children
of alcoholics and to those who love them. Nice work "
ROBERT J. ACKERMAN, Ph.D., author of "Perfect Daughters" and a
co-founder of the National Association for Children of
Alcoholics
