There are countless books teeming with information—what test does what, the "rights" and "wrongs" of eating, and "safe" or "risky" lifestyle choices—but few that hold a woman through the experience, acting as an elder sister, a matriarch, or a circle of women might hold her—with compassion, nonjudgment, and, most of all, wisdom. To the authors of Nine Golden Months, this is exactly what's needed now, in an era of high-speed living, endless demands, and more than a little anxiety and fear.

There is nothing as tragic as the loss of a baby, more so the loss of many babies. When I lost them, I lost pieces of myself that are hard to forget. The depth of love I felt for my angels hasn't faded. It has been documented that in the UK, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss, but conversations around the heart-breaking frequent experiences are few and far between.

All of us come from childhood. All of us came from this magical land and started our adult path from there. And in this land, our nearest and dearest people were giving help to us; these are our parents. Thanks to them, we were learning about the world, learning to understand it and live in it. For better or worse, they are the persons who also gave us first lessons of pain, disappointment, and sometimes—suffering.

Emma Churchman's extraordinary memoir follows her search for identity as the eldest child of a woman with one of the most extreme cases of multiple personality disorder (now known as dissociative identity disorder) diagnosed in the 1980s.

It’s important to keep the positive memories but release the negativity that might otherwise darken your relationships with women going forward. This program will help you do just that.
