ABSTRACT

I held many focus groups in preparation for this book, hearing many trauma stories over Zoom, through e-mail, and in person. The story that follows was one that resonated particularly strongly with me. In this story, you will learn about the actual traumatic event, the impact it had to Kendo, and how he moved forward to heal his heart after the event. As with the other stories presented throughout this book, I have changed his name and identifying information. The essence of the story, however, remains true to the original.
