A Spectacular Dawn is the final in this series and here Gabriel Orion Marie takes you into the heart of her healing, her conscious reclaiming of her sanity, her soul, her life and her joy. In this volume she shares extensively from her correspondence with Dr. A. and we are allowed to witness the depth of respectful, professional love that was a key ingredient in the thoroughness of her healing. "It was when I realized that Dr. A. respected me more than my father despised me and loved me more than my father hated me that I felt the certainty that my whole recovery was possible. Only respectful love can permanently undo the damage of hatred. And his love was expressed by unwavering commitment, impeccable boundaries, and unconditional acceptance and respect. Period. That was critical for my whole resurrection. Anything less would have amounted to symptom management and I didn't want that, I wanted Healing!" About this Series There are many themes in the areas of wounding and healing from sexual abuse, incest, and torture, and for my books, I have chosen themes that were most prominent in my journey. I created over 325 paintings and drawings during several years of my therapy and have arranged selections of them by themes for chapters. I tried to choose paintings in each topic that I felt would communicate best what I am trying to share. These themes and paintings are divided into three books, each sharing the subtitle: Recovery From Incest Through Painting My Story: This White House (Book One) Chapter 1 A Legacy of Shame: A Brief Autobiography Chapter 2 First Revelations: Beginning Therapy Chapter 3 Child Pornography/Child Prostitution Chapter 4 Multiplicity Chapter 5 Inner Deaths: Borderline Series Chapter 6 Obesity and Measurement Chapter 7 Spirituality and Guilt Going Sane (Book Two) Chapter 1 The Therapeutic Relationship Chapter 2 Establishing My Insanity Chapter 3 Tortured: Segreto Oscuro (Dark Secret) Chapter 4 The Penis Question Chapter 5 The Fiercest Taboo Chapter 6 Sensations Chapter 7 Some of My Selves A Spectacular Dawn (Book Three) Chapter 1 Choosing Consciousness Chapter 2 Grieving Chapter 3 Letting Go Chapter 4 Forgiveness Chapter 5 A New Beginning Chapter 6 The Dawn and I Chapter 7 Only Now

Gender Trauma is a phrase that came to me as I have thought about how to communicate my personal experience of deep pain and confusion that resulted from being sexually and emotionally tortured and brainwashed regarding my own body and gender. This book is about my healing from that specific trauma and the many attending issues around my sense of self that resulted from those traumas. Since I published my trilogy several years ago, I have come even further along the road of healing, and I have moved into a deeper, more reflective perspective on the whole gender issue within me. The lens I am looking through now is not so much of an explicit, biographical, recounting of the abuse that I experienced. Rather, it is a progressive, retrospective understanding of how devastating, disabling, and painful Gender Trauma was for me, and how the gaping wounds that came from it affected every area of my life. Now, I also have an internal overview of how these wounds gradually healed through the inner work that I have done.
