Resolve to Rise: Become Greater than Your Circumstances by Lilli Correll is an empowering and informative book that explores the effects of trauma as well as the process of healing. The author shares her life from her childhood experiences to when she became a renowned healthcare executive and a licensed counselor. By telling her story and giving advice, she encourages readers to address their past, accept the pain, and consequently empower themselves to change their lives. Correll's approach not only focuses on the emotional and psychological effects of a traumatic event but also other effects on the physical and relational self. The chapters are filled with stories, practical suggestions, and reflective activities that researchers have found useful in guiding people through understanding their trauma, thinking through their feelings, and building strength.
Lilli Correll writes sensitively while explaining the various psychological issues which will be easy for the reader to understand. I was particularly impressed by how she highlighted the importance of self-care and seeking professional help when needed. This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of trauma recovery with compassion and insight. She employs the art of Kintsugi in the narrative, and this part is especially poignant as it shows how those broken pieces can be mended to become even stronger and more beautiful. I highly recommend Resolve to Rise to readers who aim to start a new chapter in their lives, free from the pain and shadows of their past.
