內容簡介 A physician's terrifying discovery: the perfect life he built was constructed atop decades of buried childhood trauma. In 1999, Dr. Lawrence Mieczkowski, an Internal Medicine Specialist, husband, and father of two, was living a successful and stable life. Then Columbine happened. News footage of terrified students running from the school unlocked memories he had buried since early childhood-an alcoholic father, a distant mother, and a home shaped by fear and silence. For the first time, he understood he had complex PTSD. What followed was an eight-year journey through intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy that ultimately saved his life. This is the unflinching memoir of that journey-written not just by a survivor, but by the physician who lived it. Endorsed by Dr. Jennifer Lewis, clinical psychologist at the Cincinnati VA Trauma Recovery Center: "A compelling and accurate depiction of supportive psychodynamic psychotherapies . . . a valuable resource for both survivors and clinicians." If you've ever wondered: What does complex PTSD actually feel like from the inside? Can someone function successfully for decades while carrying unresolved trauma? Is full recovery possible even later in life? The Room on the Right offers powerful, honest answers. A must-read for trauma survivors, their families, and mental health professionals seeking deeper understanding of the healing process.
