Publisher's Synopsis
When acclaimed Life Coach Susanna Peace Lovell's daughter was born, she brought some unexpected challenges, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and myriad food allergies. Looking for resources and support, Susanna struggled to find a map for the road ahead. After more than 17 years of hard work and triumph, this book is that map: the blueprint for special-needs caregivers that she'd wished for back then.
Filled with hard-won insights and practical advice, Your True Self Is Enough follows Susanna's story from pregnancy through neonatal care through finding the right learning environments and therapeutic plans for her child. Throughout it all, Susanna came to learn that she and her daughter were both on their own journeys in life, and that they were both whole and complete individuals who did not need to be "fixed." Her work instead was to advocate for her child to be seen for who she is, in all her glory.
Part memoir, part guidebook, Your True Self Is Enough should be considered required reading for all caregivers.
