Wounded Healer: Breaking Cycles of Trauma for the Next Generation

What if your deepest wounds became your greatest source of wisdom?

In Wounded Healer, Dr. Evandra Catherine shares her extraordinary journey through loss, grief, abuse, homelessness, mental health challenges, and surviving a terrorist attack. Rather than allowing trauma to define her, she transforms her pain into purpose, drawing strength from ancestral wisdom, African-centered spirituality, and the principles of Infant Mental Health.

Guided by the philosophy of Sankofa—the practice of looking back to reclaim what is needed to move forward—Dr. Catherine reveals how healing begins when we honor our stories, reconnect with our roots, and break the cycles that have affected generations before us.

Part memoir, part testimony, and part call to healing, Wounded Healer offers a powerful reflection on resilience, hope, and transformation. Through personal storytelling and professional insight, Dr. Catherine invites readers to embrace their own healing journeys and discover how breaking cycles of trauma can create a stronger, healthier future for the next generation.
