"My early years were a harsh reality. I wished for the warm cuddles of a mother, the smell of cookies baking in a pretty kitchen, a beautiful garden with a swing, nice smelling flowers, green grass to lie in and a strong father who could keep us all intact. These wants and needs appealed to my hyper-sensitive nature and the security I craved would have calmed me. What I got instead, was something quite different." "I finally left my country of birth with a back-pack containing two jeans, some t-shirts, a pair of tennis shoes, a bikini, a jacket, a good Pentax camera and a whole lot more of hard-fought-for wisdom. The last thing I saw as we sailed away was the majestic Table Mountain. I sat on the deck with mixed emotions and watched it till I could see it no more, then I turned my head forwards to the future and a new life. It felt like the world was lifted from my shoulders." "It takes bravery and a warrior spirit to wrestle back our lives from the claws and jaws of the mystical dragon but well worth the effort in the end! To be able to move forward in life again feeling free and light and 'unstuck' together with power, vitality and joy....what happiness and what a victory!" "And so this book was written for those frustrated trauma survivors who have had their pathway to complete healing blocked one way or another. If you have not been receiving the knowledge you need to progress in your healing, it is my hope that now you can become more pro-active in your own treatments, armed with powerful information.

Now you have had placed in your hands some powerful tools and weapons....Secrets to Tame a Mystical Dragon."
