Surviving Childhood Trauma

Karen Flyer’s memoir, Loss and Found, explores the struggle to heal from childhood trauma. Karen is also the executive director of COPE – Connecting Our Paths Eternally – a non-profit grief and healing organization dedicated to helping parents and families living with the loss of a child. Karen did not lose a child, but she did lose her childhood.

Family abuse, however, is a backstory, not the entire or even the most important part of the play or film that becomes one’s life. The story begins in the second and third act – when one a victim is longer willing to recognize – and indeed overcomes – the limitations of her/his backstory.

We launched Rights Radio.com and RightsUniversity.com to help people overcome their “backstories” in wide-ranging areas – including addiction recovery. Soon to be released: The Rights University Pocket Sponsor iPhone App – Reflections for Addiction Recovery. Visit RightsUniversity.com for more information on the Apple store release date.

Karen Flyer offers answers to complex questions, including:

How do you bridge the gap between mother and daughter in the face of trauma?

How do you as a parent communicate with a potentially troubled teen who doesn’t want to open up and share their feelings?

And how can a daughter grow and find love in a world which may seem unforgiving and hostile?
