After experiencing two rare heart attacks at age thirty-three-and a third a decade later-DeMarco knows trauma intimately. With poignant wisdom and refreshing insight, she explodes traditional myths of resilience and shows what it takes to thrive through any of life's trials. DeMarco situates adversity in the context of "lost innocence," challenging common notions that we can think our way out of despair and back to a "normal" happy life when the unimaginable shatters it. Leveraging advances in emotion science, somatic psychology, neuroscience, and trauma, and bringing the body and spirit into the solution as much as the mind, DeMarco offers a unique, truly holistic, and trusted guide for an arduous journey every human being will have to face-the realization of heartache, pain, evil, or mortality that occurs after trauma.
