9 Steps to Rebuilding a Broken Mind, Body, and Spirit
On the outside, Shimrah Park’s life looked “normal.” Perhaps it even seemed idyllic, given her middle-class upbringing and well-paying job. But under the surface roiled a lifelong battle with traumas and a yearning to find balance between her constantly shifting relationships, career, and environment. For years she stumbled through, acting the part—until she discovered true healing from modern medicine combined with holistic modalities and creative arts therapies.
Part memoir, part public service announcement, and part guide to self-healing, There’s Tequila in the Conditioner Bottle: 9 Steps to Rebuilding a Broken Mind, Body, and Spirit is an inspiring tale of personal transformation. Park shines a light on the emotional and physical repercussions of living with unhealed trauma and with unflinching honesty bravely shares her own tale laced with benign parental neglect, sexual abuse, and lifealtering heartbreak.
With humor and compassion, Park illuminates the way forward for anyone who seeks to rebuild and reprogram the connection between body and mind.
