Sherry Hicks will talk about her book, A Shadowed Past, on Melinda Talks.
“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.”Steve Maraboli A dysfunctional family fails to perform the tasks that fulfill the purpose of the family or only manages to perform them using harmful or counter-productive methods. Counter-productive actions are repeated again and again until they become an instrinic part of the system. Thus, A Shadowed Past is a book of short poetry that I kept in my journal about my personal dysfunctional experiences in my life, my hurt, my thoughts, and hurtful places. I grew up in a dysfunctional environment and emotions were void. By embracing my writing as a therapuetic process, I can leave dysfunction behind in favor of creativity, love, flexibility, and happiness. More importantly, I can help others overcome the same plights that I encountered.
