Mental Health & Eating Disorder Spotlight - Mental Health Recovery Family Guide: "Bloodlines: A Memoir" by Tracey Yokas
play

09/23/24 • 57 min

Today’s guest is the author of Bloodlines, a memoir of harm and healing, Tracey Yokas.
This book is a must-read guide and tribute to any family in a mental health or eating disorder crisis. The book powerfully explores the concept of healing as a family unit and the complexities of self-discovery, long-term trauma, resilience and openness.
When Tracey’s daughter is diagnosed with complex mental health and eating disorder challenges, Tracey discovers that she can only support Faith’s journey if she is willing to truly immerse herself in her own recovery story & to begin dispelling generational self-narratives & addressing negative behaviors.
Tracey beautifully illustrates how shame lives in the silence and how we need to learn to just listen, be safer places for each other to land & redefine self-care to develop a loving relationship with ourselves that eventually enriches our families and ostensibly, all or relationships.
Tracey’s tone in bloodlines is sharply honest & starkly specific but it lands the reader in a safer place where healing & hope are vibrant & exciting!
