Karina: One Woman's Journey from Fear to Freedom

A poignant story that illustrates it is possible to rediscover yourself and become the person you were always meant to be. Born and raised in Poland, Karina accomplished her goals-traveling and learning languages, moving to the United States, climbing the corporate ladder, marrying, and building a family-but she never truly felt happy. In an effort to please the people around her, Karina denied her needs and squashed her own identity. Twenty years of building the life she thought she longed for in the United States, her body began to rebel: developing irritable bowel syndrome, pneumonia, a pericardial cyst, and Lyme disease. After a decade in the care of physicians and psychotherapists, Karina was ready to go in a new direction. Working with a holistic doctor, she came to a transformational belief: if her thoughts could make her sick, her thoughts could make her well. Karina realized she could be the creator of her life. And that was the catalyst that saved her family, marriage, and her well-being. View Less
