Being Whole

Healing from Trauma and Reclaiming My Voice

By: Cassandra Fay LeClair

Narrated by: Cassandra Fay LeClair

Being Whole is Dr. Cassandra LeClair’s gripping story of achieving healing and wholeness following years of abuse accompanied by heart-rending secrecy and shame. Exquisitely honest - and always breathtakingly authentic and highly relatable - Dr. LeClair’s story is, ultimately, one of hope and redemption. Acknowledging that we all endure periods of stress, trauma, and crisis, Dr. LeClair urges readers to examine, acknowledge, and heal their own broken and fragmented pieces - using their voice in the way that best resonates with them. In a world that demands that our lives showcase perfection, Dr. LeClair encourages us to recognize and own all aspects of our stories - especially the messy and painful parts - so that we can integrate all of our experiences more fully and achieve a life filled with peace and purpose.

Value for everyone

3.5 stars. I listened to the audiobook version of Being Whole, as read by the author. She had a beautiful voice, and I enjoyed the listen. I'm fortunate not to have endured trauma as Cassandra has, by I did find some great ideas to focus on myself through the book. I love that she doesn't focus on the trauma, but how it affected her in her future life. How she didn't even process it until thirty years later. And at the end of every chapter, she describes ideas for moving forward. The end of the chapters were my favorite part of the book, and extremely relatable. Cassandra describes other ideas for future books to help process what happened to her, and I look forward to reading them.

I received a copy of the audiobook from the author in exchange for my honest review. Thank you kindly to Cassandra LeClair for this opportunity. All opinions are my own.

Brave, Honest, Insightful

I am so grateful to have experienced this book. There is so much to learn from Cassandra LeClair regardless of what your personal journey has been. She bravely shares the traumatic events that shaped her life and the actions she took to navigate and heal her way through it.
I loved the sparks of light at the end of each chapter where she offers thoughts and encouragement that we can use in our own journeys.
I applaud her for her courage to share her story and for her determination to rise above it all to be whole again.
I highly recommend this book!!!
