Lifeshocks - Sophie Sabbage

There is how we want things to be, and how things really are. When internal and external dimensions smash into each other, we often react in ways that cause further disturbance and diminish our lives. Sophie Sabbage calls these moments ‘Lifeshocks’ and in this book explains how to view them creatively, as ‘awakening experiences’. While I don’t think it’s always healthy to expect traumatic experiences to be anything other than soul-searingly painful, I found Sophie’s book touching, beautifully written and ultimately, life affirming.
