Ashamed to Be Human

Kayalin is nervous when she first meets Dr. Roses. Years of negative experiences with the mental health system have left Kayalin feeling misunderstood and judged by the very people who should have helped her.

But Dr. Roses is different. She makes Kayalin feel comfortable. Dr. Roses listens as Kayalin talks about the causes of her mental issues and how they affect her life. She gives Kayalin positive feedback and gently guides her through the healing process.

Ashamed to Be Human tells Kayalin's tale. Each chapter deals with a specific therapy session and topic, from her relationship with her parents to her unwillingness to trust others. And each chapter provides the tools Dr. Roses offers to help Kayalin overcome her fear, her anxiety, and her deep trauma.

This is a book for those who, like Kayalin, feel ashamed to be human-to be imperfect, traumatized beings in an imperfect world. Kayalin offers her story to demonstrate that you don't have to feel that way. There is hope. The psychotherapeutic therapy, bodywork, and lifestyle changes that helped Kayalin can help you too.

Take the first steps toward healing with Kayalin. The journey isn't always easy, but the destination is worth the effort.
