When Writing About Trauma, Self-Care Is Important

My memoir "Moon in Full" took me eight full years to write. Partly because I kept myself busy finishing law school, trying to make ends meet, and engaging in political and community organizing.

The writing process, for me, was a cathartic, emotional, and therapeutic process that involved digging up and digging into traumatic experiences from my time with my Cambodian family, foster care, adoption, Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Marpheen Chann  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In many ways, the pain was born of guilt. Guilt that I couldn’t turn back time and fix everything… Part of healing means confronting these very difficult feelings and emotions. For years, I wrestled with this guilt and I was angry at times for being so fixated on it. But over the years… I learned to accept and learn from the circumstances and conditions of life that had brought me to this point. Anger, pain, and guilt turned to acceptance, which then gave rise to agency.”
Marpheen Chann, Moon in Full: A Modern Day Coming-of-Age Story

“Changing hearts and minds requires humbleness, empathy, and understanding. It requires that we maintain our optimism about other people and their ability to evolve and change. It means not giving up hope that they may one day have a change of heart. It means appealing and calling to that deep human longing for dignity and equality that echoes in each of us—that childlike innocence, openness, and inclination to embrace the unknown.”
Marpheen Chann, Moon in Full: A Modern Day Coming-of-Age Story

“If you run from something you fear, it gives that fear power and that fear will continue to chase and haunt you. But if you turn around and face it, only then can you begin to see it for what it is and only then can you see it in the light, rather than having it lurk in your own shadow.”
