Can you hear the sound? Listen closely, can you hear the silence? It's deafening, isn't it? The sound of the silent victim is a fearful sound. The innocent remain terrorized in silence. Victims are voiceless. I've walked this path of silent tears for too long, and now, my life is a story of overcoming, growing resilient, losing my voicelessness, and speaking out. The hard part wasn't escaping the poverty, the projects, or the violence. The hard part was facing the past, the pain, the fear. Everyone, abuse victim or not, has a wound to heal--whether internally or in a loved one. Join me in learning how to move from broken to resilient. We are free to heal ourselves. We are free to heal others. ______________________________________________________________________________ In Resilient Walker , Dr. Shree Walker retells how she transformed her nomadic life once built in poverty, abuse, and defeated thinking into a vibrant career helping others overcome their circumstances and rise through resiliency to success.
This is a true story about living through and overcoming trauma. I felt so many emotions while reading this and I honestly can’t give it less than 5 stars. I can’t imagine how difficult telling this story must have been.
I had the pleasure of hearing the author speak and the writing sounds exactly as if she had spoken them herself. Highly recommend.
Trigger warnings for rape, sexual abuse, neglect, and suicidal thoughts.
An AMAZING book. This read was an incredible, powerful, emotional, moving, painful, and saddening read! I am astounded be how resilient Shree Walker is!
I had the pleasure of hearing her speak at a Conference and attend one of her trainings and she was amazing and inspiring. She was so authentic herself and living up to her 10 core beliefs.
