Trusting the Dawn {Book Excerpt}
Author MARY FIRESTONE, has an MA in clinical psychology and is on a mission to let others know they are not alone and there is light on the other side of the darkness of PTSD. Her book, Trusting the Dawn, released through Sounds True Publishing on August 23, 2022 and is the story of Mary’s survival and transformation through healing. It is an offering for survivors of all kinds of trauma. In Trusting the Dawn, Mary draws from both her own real-life experiences and her background in clinical psychology and English (she graduated with a BA from Princeton) to offer a radical, integrative handbook for not only healing from trauma but awakening to even more joy and meaning because of your experiences. Mary has been featured in numerous outlets including goop, Well + Good, Santa Barbara magazine, Forbes Travel Guide and Angeleno. Mary, along with her sister Lucy, is also the co-founder of Firestone Sisters, Inc. which aims to provide others with healing and growth opportunities through experiences and products. They produce and curate their Wild Precious Life Retreats which have featured well-known speakers such as Joe Dispenza, Dr. Jennifer Freed, Lauren Roxburgh and the pair also created an essential oil based perfume called “The First,” as a way to capture the essence of their retreats in a bottle. Their second scent, “Open”, will soon be available. She currently resides in California with her family.
