Turning the Hourglass: Childrens Passage Through Traumas and Past Lives, is a collection of stories written from the childs point of view. It is based on the therapeutic model that Christine has developed which includes Gestalt Therapy with Children and Adolescents and Regression Therapy. Emerging through these true stories of children are poignant words that draw the reader into the childs world. Whether it is childhood trauma of abuse, difficulty with divorce and parenting variations, pre-natal, birth or past-life patterning, the stories unfold with children conquering their problems and developing into the lovely young people that they truly are. Various symptoms and behaviors ranging from issues such as a diagnosis of ADHD to severe anxiety and depression are lifted from the child as these healing stories guide the reader through each journey.
Parents who realize the benefits of alternative therapeutic techniques for their child or are searching for a method that truly works, teachers and therapists will find this book enlightening as they discover a powerful method of working with children. Awareness is raised about children, their plights and their enduring strengths inviting us all to acknowledge those who have such a small voice in our world.
