Description

Scary Stories to Tell in the Light demonstrates how narrative can be used to transform complex trauma into a fulfilling life. Using her own story as a survivor of childhood abuse, sexual assault, mental illness, addiction, and witness to the murder of her fiancé as a template showing how the unwanted can generate desirable consequences, author Jana Haggard offers a practical means of transforming victimization into empowerment. Scary Stories provides an example of how to retell a “real” story (fact-based) into a “true” story (redemptively, casting the narrator as a creator of desired current circumstance); and its worksheets guide a reader through telling her own story to move away from perpetuating uncomfortable feelings toward enjoying a happier life. Turn trauma into joy as you retell your story in a different light, and begin living a more empowered experience right away!
