Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on 24 years of professional and personal experience with addictions and mental illness, Lee Lyttles memoir, WOUNDED HEALER traces his healing journey through childhood trauma, addictions, and mental illness. He shares how creativity and imagination, music, and art, can help people cope with trauma of any nature, and supports other male survivors of child sexual abuse, childhood trauma, addictions, or mental illness. In Wounded Healer, Lee shares his raw personal story and truths hes learned about healing from traumatic experiences... how his insights into creativity and the power of the imagination enabled him to take difficult experiences and lean into them, a process, which set him on a path of continually seeking and reaching new edges in life. Lee believes tremendous healing occurs when we share our stories honestly with others who have experienced similar difficulties, and that expressing our true identity is the greatest medicine we can ever find. Working as a therapist for people with traumatic brain injury, Lees insights and training into psychology and behaviouR -- amplified by his artistic endeavours -- have given him the ability to explore trauma healing from varied perspectives: experientially and academically... Combining insights from western mainstream psychology and Traditional First Nations wisdom and practice through the concept of Two-Eyed seeing allow Lee to bring clients to a place of wholeness and wellness.
