Hanson, Pamela: - Childhood trauma marked my early years, a secret I kept that caused recurring problems throughout my life, regardless of any success I achieved. Despite my childhood trauma, infidelity, a serious car accident, struggles with autoimmune diseases and financial difficulties, my strong determination kept me going. I fought to overcome each situation, eventually finding my footing again. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a friend to many, an animal lover, a singer, a gardener, a realtor, a writer and an artist. My journey has been shaped by a lifelong quest to fi nd healing, by exploring various spiritual and self-help practices. It has deepened my spirituality beyond any single religion. My story is one of resilience and hope, with the belief that God can use my experiences to inspire and support others on their path to recovery.
