Confessions of a Chateau Worker. A Know ThySelf Journey That Led to Past Lives. A Memoir.
A trauma therapist, lifelong seeker, and skeptic sets out to “know thyself” and ends up somewhere she never what she came to understand as memories of past lives. A chateau worker serving a medieval king. A lifetime in the ancient Middle East steeped in shame. The “moving energy” of spontaneous kundalini. Through trial and error, and with the help of Internal Family Systems (IFS), she learns to meet what arises, including parts of herself, with curiosity while overcoming fear.
To make sense of her spiritual emergence, she draws on the neuroscience of "predictive processing", biofield science, philosophy, and the wisdom of teachers across fields. Along the way, she confronts shame, grief, and trauma, and finds gratitude, self-love, and her own voice. The book closes with practical considerations for spiritually informed psychotherapy.
Funny, direct, and deeply personal, this memoir is for anyone curious about their own psyche, people making sense of unusual spiritual experiences, and clinicians ready to look beyond the textbooks.
