How does trauma echo across the years? What happens when it doesn’t go away—when it adapts, mutates, and embeds itself in our relationships, thoughts, bodies, and sense of self?
In Book 2 of the Stoning Demons series, Kimberly Callis continues her unflinching and compassionate exploration of complex PTSD—not just as a psychological condition, but as a lived reality shaped by prolonged trauma, especially in childhood.
While Book 1 laid the foundation—showing how early wounding becomes the soil for C-PTSD—Book 2 zooms in on the symptoms that often go unrecognized, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood. Dissociation, emotional flashbacks, chronic self-doubt, looping shame spirals, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting others… these are not personal flaws. They are survival responses, long-term strategies forged in the fire of repeated harm.
This book is not just a list of symptoms—it’s a map of the inner terrain so many of us have walked without names for our pain.
Whether you’re newly discovering the term “complex PTSD,” or deep into your healing journey, Stoning Demons Book 2 is a powerful companion and guide.
