What are the Key Components of the Book?
Truthaches is a book for our time. Our deep truths are longing to be expressed to heal ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. In this action oriented book Tamika Schilbe Cole generously provides a guiding light so we don’t fall asleep to our pain. We sometimes try to shove our truth away in the closet and this book reminds us to open the door and heal it. It invites us all to act with clarity. A must read.
A truthache is something we hide that hurts us.
Healing our truthaches helps us build a life of self-respect, personal power, meaningful relationships, and peace of mind.
Holding back our truth is hugely distracting and diverts energy away from our goals and dreams. Yet, even the most healthy, successful people need support facing difficult truths.
Sometimes dealing with truthaches goes smoothly, and other times honesty is frightening—or misunderstood by those who don’t want it to be true.
Full of real-life stories and examples, this book will give you the support, courage, and skill to transform your life and be the person you are here to be.
