The lessons I learned in the self publishing process are HUGE. Here I distill them down into 5 essentials for any would-be self published author If you would like to review either book talked about here: The Dementia Diaries - https://www.amazon.com/Dementia-Diaries-Lessons-Gracefully-Daughters-ebook/dp/B0B61DFTNS/ref=sr_1_5 The Scar that Won't Heal - https://www.amazon.com/Dementia-Diaries-Lessons-Gracefully-Daughters-ebook/dp/B0B61DFTNS/ref=sr_1_5 please do. They were and are a labour of love Next book mentioned here is provisionally titled " Life after Death: Messages from my Parents in the Afterlife and my aim is to publish this over the summer so it should be live within a few weeks. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROeZLMVQ51Q

A new idea for a healing community of people recovering from chronic illness.. I am SO excited I don’t want to wait until it’s finished before telling you all about it. And I’d love to involve you in its development! For years now, I’ve been working with people with all manner of ‘unexplained’ or 'mystery' symptoms of anxiety (it’s a ‘brain disorder’) or chronic fatigue or pain (‘we really don’t know what’s wrong, you’ll just have to live with it’) and helping them to see that there is another approach which takes into account what happened to you in childhood. I work to help uncover the hidden trauma or attachment trauma (breaches in trust like betrayal, humiliation or just not getting the support you needed at the right time). This has profound implications for your biology not just your mental health. The Adverse Childhood Event (ACE) study of 1998 really changed the way that we look at trauma. And now we know it’s common and not just the major events like war or abuse but the drip drip feed of not being enough/unloved or unsupported at some time in your life. This can happen through no fault of your parents – if your mother had post natal depression or your birth was difficult, your parents had their own bereavement or someone on the family was ill or struggling financially or martially. I wrote a book about this in 2015 (The Scar that won’t Heal) and have been teaching this information and helping people to resolve their own ‘hidden trauma’ on a 121 basis since that time. But recently I’ve been getting various messages from people who have reached out with questions like “is there a way to work with you other than 121? or “is there a way to connect with others doing this work?” or “I LOVE this information - how can I go deeper with this content?” Up to now I’ve had little answer other than recommending my books, podcast or youtube channel for more information but of course this is a purely individual, passive approach ...I had never considered having a space for an online community to grow together . Of course, it’s something I wanted. I had just never thought it would be possible to create.. an online community who grow together. But the more I have begun to learn about the potential of online work (yes for sure propelled by the covid pandemic), the more I began to dream.. I started to see a place I could create online where you could: • Realise you’re not alone in your anxiety or fear • Begin your journey to healing from trauma in a supportive environment • Join together with others to create the life you’ve always dreamed of I can’t stop thinking about how a community dedicated to healing trauma could massively impact the health and wellbeing of so many people and who knows where it could lead us in 1, 3 or even 5 years from now? THAT’S what’s keeping me buzzing. It’s the progress people could make by working together with me in a group programme designed for that purpose – which as far as I know hasn’t been done yet. But here’s what I’m VERY clear on… I can’t do this alone and I don’t have all the answers. Currently, this idea is very rough around the edges. It’s not created (yet) and there are many things I still need to work out. But the vision is there. And that’s why I’d love to extend an early invitation to you. I want you to be part of this… especially if you’re willing to help me shape this idea. Join me as a Founding Member and if you're willing let's see how we can make this THE best place to support healing and reclaiming people’s lives, I’m willing to extend a very favourable Founding Member price. When this offer is extended to the general public, I anticipate the starting price for this to be somewhere in the neighbourhood of £259 (which will be a no brainer given that this will be helping people get free of trauma and reclaim their lives). Here’s the best part though… Join me today as a Founding member and your price will be £139 for the duration of the programme (that's 14 weeks: 7 training videos and 7 online group sessions to discuss and share). And THAT is a steal. The post launch price will be £259. I’ve got plans for webinars, Q&A sessions and video content but nothing has officially been created. And I expect some of the best ideas will come from you and others who join me as a Founding Member. The ideas will be developed between now and the launch and with your help we can get people like yourselves and those you love access to healing. The goal is to officially launch this on 8th September 2021 but you can get involved now. Join me. Become a Founding Member. All you need to do is simply contact me on patriciaworby@gmail.com or via my website patriciaworby.co.uk and I will let you know payment details (I'll be setting up a paypal and stripe here https://buy.stripe.com/14k3db7Ta79Tevm5kk or BACS payment) Thank you. Here’s to your success and here’s to the success of our new community! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xELDkg_VcB0
