(I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review)

Any Body Can Heal is a remarkable story of Sara's resilience in a life that has had so much trauma.

Turning adversity and trauma into empowerment is truly inspiring. Sara's internal dialogue throughout her story has opened my eyes to the daily struggles many face. This book is not only for those who have experienced abuse, but also for anyone seeking to support them.

Hearing Sara embrace her body and learn to love it again is very profoundly powerful.

Through her own personal stories of trauma, Davidson brings together a powerful and vulnerable story that celebrates our body and mind’s ability to heal and move forward. Weaving together the horrifying BIG traumas she survived, with personal and practical methods of healing help make this book a useful tool for people suffering from all levels of trauma. I’ve found myself using this book as a starting off point to research all the various modes of therapy recommended and to find ways to apply them to my own personal therapy. Highly recommend this book for anyone searching for new ways of understanding how our body reacts and behaves on a daily basis to the various stimuli that surrounds us. We all have various levels of trauma in our life and Davidson provides us with a variety of options to explore to overcome, heal and hopefully flourish.

Sara not only brings us along on the journey of the trauma she has faced in her life, she also brings us along on her journey of healing. The honest account of Sara's life events that she shares with us is truly powerful and inspirational. I would definitely recommend reading "Any Body Can Heal".

Her journey of rebuilding her life piece by piece serves as an inspiring testament to the human spirit’s capacity for resilience. A fitting name for the book.
