Former Benonian Rebekah Clark recently published a memoir titled Inside the Healer.
The book was published in February and is available on selected online platforms.
The 31-year-old author, who now lives in Canada, said the memoir was inspired by challenges she and her husband endured.
“One morning I decided I needed to start documenting the things going on in my life and soon realised this was a healing process.
“I decided I would go back into my mind’s eye and look for other patterns that needed to be healed, and by writing these down I achieved my healing,” said Clark.
“The coaching programmes were indeed working. I was unaware at the time that my layers of emotions were so thick and needed to be torn down even further.
“In the memoir, I mostly talk about what happened to me in the past, what I’ve learned and how I overcame these obstacles without realising that I had overcome them.”
Clark is a transformational life coach who focuses on families and romantic relationships to help people in dealing with the emotional baggage that they are unaware of.
The mother of two said there is so much to learn from in her book, but most importantly that we are 100 per cent responsible for our own lives.
“What happens in our lives is our own choice and we can decide to change or to keep following the same broken pattern.

“We need to learn how to forgive those who have hurt us and most importantly we need to learn how to forgive ourselves. This is one of the biggest lessons to be learned from the book,” said Clark.
Her husband is Canadian and the couple decided to spend a few years overseas.
“However, I haven’t come across more friendly people in my life than Benonians. They are so friendly and willing to help the next person, regardless of the little they have themselves.
“We need to keep that spirit alive for as long as possible.”
The former library teacher has been a ghostwriter for years.

“I decided to turn my writing skills into something useful by helping others to find themselves; it was easier to be focused and keep writing.
“I am working on part two of my book, Healing between Two Worlds, in which we will take a closer look at family patterns and how we can heal from traumatic events, which happened to our ancestors.
“We need to set ourselves free and through forgiveness, we can do that.”
