“This is a book for all human kind.” Lieutenant-Colonel Trisha MacLeod, Commanding Officer, (Canadian Armed Forces) If the pandemic of 2020 taught us anything, it is that we need to wake up to our lives. To be more present, more engaged, more in touch. Deri Latimer’s experience during the pandemic was transformative. A 33-year-old trauma was triggered in March of 2020, taking the author on a whole new world of discovery about the power of understanding the imprints of trauma and the opportunities those imprints provide. A keynote speaker on all things happy and resilient, Deri found herself completely 'not herself'’. As an individual who dedicates her life to healthy practices, she suddenly felt completely out of control. She rode the highest of highs to the lowest of lows before discovering the wisdom of trauma. It is never too late to fully wake up! “Anyone who has experienced grief, loss, shame, trauma, or mental health challenges will resonate with Deri’s story in her book Not Crazy, Just Human.” Kelly Penner Hutton, Ph.D., C.Psych, Clinic Director, Peace of Mind Therapy and Consultation “An authentic and uplifting book.” Meg Soper, R.N., Motivational Humorist, Co-Author of From the Stage to the Page
