Fractured Souls and Splintered Memories : Unlocking the "Boxes" of Trauma

Told as an intimate case study, this book follows Michelle Chambers—a successful psychologist who spent her life running from a horrific childhood of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. When her son gently asks why she never opens up, Michelle returns to therapist Dr. Natalie to finally 'unlock the boxes' of buried trauma. Over eighteen raw months, she confronts shame, self-blame, and secrets, discovering that healing is possible through trust, vulnerability, faith, and the redeeming love of Jesus Christ.

• A psychologist becomes the patient: what happens when the healer needs healing?
• An unflinching but hope-filled portrait of therapy that could help a resistant reader finally seek help
• Faith and clinical psychology working together—healing sustained by the Atonement
• 'Unlocking the boxes': a memorable framework for processing buried trauma

Perfect for an adult survivor of childhood abuse—especially a Latter-day Saint—who is considering or resisting therapy and wants reassurance that faith-informed healing is possible.
