According to Dr. Marie Mbouni, no one reaches adulthood without experiencing five major wounds of the heart: abandonment, betrayal, separation, denial, and judgment. These wounds shape our emotions, relationships, and our everyday interactions. This book shows us how to heal these wounds so we can live life whole-heartedly. At some point in our lives, we all experience five major emotional traumas. While the world may encourage us to dismiss these events, Dr. Marie Mbouni explains that the trauma we experience as a result of these “heart wounds” can leave lasting impressions on our lives. They shape the way we feel, how we relate to others, and even our physical bodies. Left unhealed, they can make it difficult to live life as our best selves.
