I laughed, I cried UGLY tears, happy tears, tears of compassion, and everything in between. I also cried tears for Kate and her journey. I have always felt so drawn to her and almost overwhelmed by the Power within her (when I first met her). Remove the words you're allergic to, that might be edgy and look at the story of hope, love, grace, healing, teaching, learning, resiliency, humility raw real vulnerability and much, much more!
This book is a memoir that also has Kate's beautiful teachings interwoven throughout. If you are seeking to learn more about how trauma has affected your body and how adverse childhood events could be manifesting now in your mind, body and spirit; this book is for you!! This book also serves as a great learning manual if you are seeking to learn understand basics of the nervous system.
I really enjoy Kate's writing style. It draws you in and captures your attention. Her story is such a beautiful story of hope. As I was reading the book I found myself in awe of how much Kate's story is a mirror for my story in that we had similar events occur in our lives AND I can also see how so many others will relate to and learn from this book. I witness so many drawn to Kate's teachings and her wisdoms when our paths crossed during my yoga teacher training journey. It's no wonder that as I began to read the words they started to dance across the page in Magic black and white. I found myself reading about very tough topics and not being so triggered that I couldn't read the book.
There are gentle reminders all throughout the book, tools, reminders for support on her website (www.kateshipp.com) and the way that the information is delivered is also very gentle so it is easier to digest when you read about Kate's life experiences. Heck, I even had a more successful EMDR session today in my own personal therapy session as a result of reading this book. In learning how to better listen to my body during the session. I am not one to should on people but this is definitely a book that highly sensitive people and Trauma Survivor Warriors need to read. May you be blessed by this book, as much as I was. Thank you Kate for helping me get out of my head and into my heart. Thank you for helping me remember who God says I am. Thank you for reigniting hope within me again. Thank you for doing the work. Thank you for sharing your story.

About the author
A Heartfelt Look into Trauma and a Gift of Tools to Help Others
In reading Kate Shipp’s book, I recognize that it is important to read it multiple times: once to be a witness to the author’s journey of healing to wholeness, second to connect with the tools and practices that we can integrate into our own toolbox employing the breathe and understanding ourselves in new ways, and again in our own steps of struggle to remind ourselves we are not alone and that healing is on the other side through the pain, the response, and the uncomfortable. Kate’s journey in I Am Strong Enough Now God Thanks is a Blessing for all that question their body’s own healing abilities and also an opportunity to become Aware that healing is about reprogramming our thoughts, and body to become consciously aware of where we are in the moments through consistent personal homework, love and compassion for ourselves. Kate’s book is a wonderful reminder that healing is an Inside Job. Thanks Kate for your vulnerability and passion to heal yourself - and to opening the door to guide others through their own.
