The Soulful Journey of Recovery is a book that possesses the rare opportunity to simultaneously teach and emotionally touch the reader. Those children of all ages who have experienced trauma in their lives have the opportunity to read and reflect on the wisdom of Dr. Dayton. Her clinical expertise is obvious throughout the book. She is a master at helping others and is truly at the top of her game. This book will take the reader from personal traumas to shared recovery. I highly recommend her book to all who search for a journey to recovery. You will not be disappointed. --Robert J. Ackerman, PhD, professor emeritus from Indiana University of Pennsylvania; former Director of the Mid-Atlantic Addiction Research and Training Institute, author of Perfect Daughters and Silent Sons; cofounder of the National Association for Children of Addiction I have always loved Tian Dayton's work, and one more time, her words speak directly to me in my personal and professional journey. Whether you are new to her work or are a sage admirer, you will find yourself captivated, inspired, and furthered in your recovery journey. She has a great mastery of words as she cuts to the core and speaks the truth of those who have lived with trauma. As said in the introduction, recovery is not stopping something as much as it is beginning . . . --Claudia Black, PhD, Senior Fellow of The Meadows; Director of the Claudia Black Young Adult Center; author of It Will Never Happen to Me and Unspoken Legacy; founding member of the National Association for Children of Addiction Once again, as a great author, Dr. Tian Dayton has brought forth words that touch our hearts and souls. There are millions of us who were confused, devastated, and in emotional pain because of the addiction and the havoc that addiction played in our lives. She has reached in and pulled out the deep strength and courage that each of us houses inside our often 'too busy' minds, aching hearts, and tired bodies. For the time we read her book, The Soulful Journey of Recovery, we breathe deep, we relax our personal selves, and are able to recharge, understand, and feel our own inner gifts. This is a book that must be read once, put into our memory and action bank, and then read as often as we need to recharge. I enjoyed being able to it pick up and put it down, absorbing the wisdom of each chapter. Dr. Tian Dayton has produced another masterpiece, and I highly recommend this book to all of us who have held hands as we walked the journey of recovery from all addictions. --Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse, author of Learning to Love Yourself, Choicemaking, Another Chance, and Caregiving; family therapist; cofounder of the National Association for Children of Addiction; founder of ONSITE Workshops, TN Of the many books on trauma, codependency, and children of alcoholics, The Soulful Journey of Recovery stands out as a groundbreaking work. Tian Dayton has synthesized current research, behavioral theory, and her years of experience in creating a must-read not just for those that have grown up in families of trauma but for clinicians who work with these individuals. Her understanding of what happens to a child physically, emotionally, and spiritually and how these experiences manifest in adult relationships is astounding. Dr. Dayton has a true gift for writing with clarity and inspiration and this book is no exception. The Soulful Journey of Recovery goes far beyond our notions of codependency and trauma-related issues and provides the reader with a deeper understanding and practical tools that will assist in healing. --Rokelle Lerner, Senior Clinical Advisor of Crossroads Antigua; author of Daily Affirmations for the Inner Child, Daily Affirmations for Adult Children of Alcoholics, and The Object of My Affection Is in My Reflection; founding member of the National Association for Children of Addiction
