Book excerpt: Why would a grown woman care about potty training? Especially potty training herself?! Well, we aren't REALLLLY talking about potty training here, are we? Think about it. What does it take to potty train your baby? A lot of patience, time, wisdom from others, internal wisdom, discussion with your toddler, and ultimately some independence for them and flexibility from you. Let's face it... Potty training is HARD! Potty training is a metaphor for surrender. It is a perfect picture of the struggle between me and the battles I faced; being willing to clean up my mess and try again, putting on my big girl panties and moving forward (which requires the surrender). I would love to take you on my healing journey. I have learned so much along the way! And maybe, just maybe, you will learn something from my battles, defeats, and victories alike.
