Do you want to get rid of trauma? Read Killer god. In the pages of the book you will find me, a living example that proves that healing from trauma is possible.
It's not the book of a mental health specialist, on the contrary, it's the perspective of a people like you, who has tried various therapies, more or less conventional, and of the artist at the same time, who has managed to combine art with therapy to heal trauma.
We all carry the burden of trauma, because no parent is perfect, and as if that weren't enough, trauma is transmitted transgenerationally. And the generations that emerged from communism carry the heavy legacy on their shoulders. Put it down!

Not coincidentally, I immediately changed the work field and I was hired as a government expert in child protection, but at 44 I also graduated from film directing university. I produce my own short documentaries and educational films in the social and medical fields, and at 48 my first novel - Living in a Dream - was published.
