Seizing control from the clutches of the past, it elucidates successful strategies for establishing boundaries, engaging in healing self-care practices, and rebuilding one's self-esteem. The book positions healing and self-reclamation as not just possibilities but inevitable outcomes for those who dare to embrace their journey. Moreover, it extends a hand towards building healthier relationships and achieving financial independence, crucial steps towards authentic self-sufficiency. With an entire chapter dedicated to finding your voice and another to managing the complexities of maintaining or severing ties, the book serves as an unwavering companion through every step of recovery. In the final chapters, Rise Above turns its focus inward, prompting readers to embark on the most significant journey of all--reclaiming their identity. Through exploration of one's interests, passions, and values, it champions the forging of a new, deeply personal path, unmarred by the shadows of the past. Coupled with empowering strategies through education and support, this book promises not just survival, but a thriving existence beyond the grip of narcissistic parents.

Download or read book Locked In written by Victoria Arlen and published by Howard Books. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ESPN personality, former Dancing with the Stars contestant, and Paralympics champion Victoria Arlen shares her courageous and miraculous story of recovery after falling into a mysterious vegetative state at age eleven and how she broke free, overcame the odds, and never gave up hope. When Victoria Arlen was eleven years old, she contracted two rare diseases simultaneously and fell into a mysterious vegetative state. For two years her mind was dark, but in the third year, her mind broke free, and she was able to think clearly and to hear and feel everything—but no one knew. Her doctors wrote her off as a lost cause, and Victoria remained a prisoner in her own body for nearly four years. But every day, silently in her own mind, Victoria would pray to God, and she promised Him that if He gave her a second chance, she would make every moment count, and change the world for the better. At fifteen, against all odds and medical predictions, Victoria woke up. Finally she was able to communicate through eye blinks, and gradually, she regained her ability to speak and eat and move her upper body, but she faced the devastating reality of paralysis from the waist down because of damage to her spine. However, Victoria didn’t lose her strength or steadfast determination, and two years later, she won a gold medal for swimming at the London 2012 Paralympics. She went on to become one ESPN’s youngest on air-personalities and, after nearly ten years of paralysis, she learned to walk again and even competed on Dancing with the Stars. In Locked In, Victoria shares her inspiring story—the pain, the struggle, the fight to live and thrive, and most importantly, the faith that carried her through. Her journey was not easy, but by believing in God’s healing power and forgiveness, she is living proof that, despite seemingly insurmountable odds and challenges, the will to survive and resolve to live can be a force stronger than our worst deterrents.
