Miss Havisham from Great Expectations was...


•     Jilted at the altar on her wedding day.

•     that day, she stopped all the clocks in her home.

•     Left the wedding dinner untouched and the wedding cake to rot on the table.

•     Continued to wear her wedding dress.

•     Lived in darkness for decades.

•     Her life became a monument to pain and betrayal.


Miss Havisham didn’t just experience a wound—she moved into it and decorated it.


We all know people who are frozen in a moment. Sometimes that person is us.


Listen in to hear tools and tips from the rooms of recovery!
