Reviews"Thoughtful and reassuring, Writing the Wrongs brings a valuable new perspective to how writing can resolve trauma by honoring and engaging the imagination, while envisioning and, importantly, compassionately re-visioning the lives people want for themselves." --Cindy Shearer, DA , professor and program chair of the MFA in interdisciplinary arts and writing, and PhD in psychology programs at the California Institute of Integral Studies, " Writing the Wrongs is an intelligent and well-thought-out guide to going inside and journaling both one's pain and one's release. Anyone who takes the time to engage with the book and do the work will find help for their suffering." --Fred Luskin, PhD , author of Forgive for Good , director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project, and affiliate faculty member of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, "In a world experiencing a dearth of soul, DeMarco's compassionate approach to moral injury is a poetic answer to tending the personal wounds of the individual self. Writing the Wrongs is a beautiful offering for anyone struggling with the impact of soul wounding or looking to rewrite the narrative of their life." --Valeria McCarroll, PhD, LMFT , faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies, psychedelic educator/consultant, writer, and speaker, " Writing the Wrongs helps readers to identify their own moral injuries and offers a comprehensive guide to independently work through, and ultimately conquer, their deepest, most personal wounds. It will immensely benefit anyone seeking healing from 'soul wounds,' especially our nation's most elite warriors who are suffering immensely from the destructive impacts of operator syndrome and moral injury, as well as their families." --Jennifer E. Byrne, BS, MS, OTD, OTR/L , vice president and cofounder at Shields & Stripes, and CEO at 5by5 Performance Therapy, " Writing the Wrongs is a crucial resource that adeptly combines scientific rigor with compassionate insight. It offers those experiencing moral injury a structured yet personal path to healing and understanding. DeMarco's innovative use of writing as therapy provides the tools necessary for individuals to reclaim their narrative and begin the journey to recovery." --Bill Edmonds, LTC (Ret) Army Special Forces , author of God Is Not Herer, "This is no mere journal--it's an embodied journey of reckoning and reconnection, making us feel held in our darkest moments. Whether you're a trauma survivor, health care worker, veteran, or struggling with a crisis of conscience, Writing the Wrongs will be a treasured companion and a beacon of hope for transforming moral anguish into post-traumatic growth. Weaving cutting-edge neuroscience with ancient wisdom, DeMarco's groundbreaking approach is medicine for our times." --Albert Wong, PhD , director of the Trauma Certificate Program at Somatopia, and author of The Healing Trauma Workbook, " Writing the Wrongs offers an insightful and pragmatic approach to the often-ignored trauma of moral injury. Through reflective writing and engaged imagination, these pages offer a gentle guide to recovery and self-discovery. It is a gift and a resource to those seeking to rebuild their inner world and find a deeper sense of wholeness." --Jonathan Erickson, PhD, MFA , author of Imagination in the Western Psyche , faculty at CIIS, and communication and narrative coach, DeMarco offers a science-based GPS to navigate the adverse terrain of moral injury and trauma--which strikes a particular chord with combat veterans like me. The writing prompts are meticulously crafted and aimed at fostering awareness, acknowledging the past, reshaping the present, and envisioning a hopeful future. DeMarco's work is set apart by her profound insights and compassion, and her astute identification of moral trauma as 'soul wounds.' --Troy Arce, DACM, LAc , career pararescueman and combat rescue officer, and veteran community care provider|9781648483967|
