Justin B. Long is a self-embracing nerd who loves crunching numbers, researching interesting things, and listening to podcasts, in addition to reading loads of books. His exposure to Stephen King’s books at the age of 10 probably stunted him in some way, but he is still determined to leave the world a better place than he found it. He lives near Gainesville, Florida on a small farm with his incredible wife, 7 horses, 5 cats, 2 donkeys, 2 dogs, and a sheep named Gerald.
A traumatic childhood led to a life burdened by negative feelings. But what truths lie undiscovered in the wreckage of the past?
Justin Long never felt good enough. After years of physical and psychological abuse from his parents, he was a self-loathing stranger to love. But at thirty-two, he faced up to the fact that his existence had become a downward spiral of alcoholism and despair.
Knowing something had to change, Justin sought help and got sober. But defeating addiction was just the start of his journey of endurance and revelation. Committed to becoming whole, he fought through his cynicism about counseling in order to resolve his underlying pain and rise above his past.
Justin's raw narrative is a dark yet hopeful outpouring of his battle toward emotional health through self-awareness and therapy. Pairing each trauma with the treatment plan that helped him discover it, he presents an engaging and healing window into his ongoing recovery. And with unflinching honesty, he offers an encouraging and powerful message on the importance of inner validation.
The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy is an invigorating true story. If you like tales of overcoming hardship, and gaining tools to improve your own life, then you'll love Justin B. Long's inspirational memoir.
Review
This book is a gift, a gift of hope in many ways…
Hope that an abusive childhood can have a happy ending.
Hope that we now have the psychotherapy tools, like EMDR, that can really help heal the past wounding.
Hope that such wonderful therapists like Nysa really do exist and can walk their clients through their heart-wrenching stories and shepherd them into the light of healing into a functional life.
The dialogues are wonderful. More than anything else, they are real.
This book reads like a story, except that it really is true, and the author really did overcome the challenges of his childhood. He shows us how beautifully an EMDR session can flow into the past and back, and rewards us with hope and triumph.
