Return to yourself

Through the process of reintegration to rediscover oneself...

From the bestselling author of Shadows Before Dawn. Teal Swan endured years of abuse by a family friend, a member of a secret local religious sect, before she managed to escape at the age of nineteen and begin the process of her own healing and transformation. Return to Self invites the reader on this encouraging journey of healing and liberation. Anyone who has ever been affected by trauma will find here a way to reassemble themselves without the burden of the past.

Based on her innate extra-sensory experiences and using psychotherapeutic methods, Teal Swan has developed a revolutionary process of integration that leads one to reconciliation with oneself, others and external circumstances. Key steps on this path include:

* Creating a haven of safety - building a mental place where one feels safe and from where one can return to a painful memory without fear

* Acknowledgement - sending a message to a painful emotion that you acknowledge it and recognize its validity

* Finding the root cause - by asking "When did I first feel this emotion?" it is possible to get to the root of the problem

* Expectation of relief - allowing your feelings inside the painful memory the space to naturally direct themselves towards relief

* Cleansing and healing - the ritual of closing a traumatic memory and beginning a new life The return to self will leave the reader with a stronger awareness of their own worth in the world and the certainty that life can be good again.

"The process of scaling is not just a healing process. It is also a path to enlightenment."- Teal Swan
