The beauty and value of Alex Howard’s book is that he speaks from his personal story. He had support to transform and transmute his own trauma, which led him in the direction of developing the clinical expertise to help thousands of people and to writing this book to reach even more. His joy in life and depth of knowledge make him a trustworthy guide to your own liberation from the past.
