Adult Mental Health

A Tiny Spark of Hope

Healing Childhood Trauma in Adulthood Kim S. Golding and Alexia Jones

Foreword by Daniel A. Hughes

A powerful real-life story of how therapy can provide a path from trauma to healing, as told by a therapist and their client.

“I could not ignore the tiny spark of hope that whispered to me that there might be someone with whom I could be vulnerable and real, and that this time they might just not let me down…”

This is the story of Alexia and her therapist Kim, and their three-year therapy journey to begin Alexia’s path to recovery. Written from both perspectives, it is a powerful and revealing account of a therapist-client relationship.

Together, the authors show the manifold challenges that adult survivors of childhood abuse have to overcome, and offer insight to all therapists on how relational interventions can pave a way to healing.
