“Sonia Connolly’s remarkable new book, “Wellspring of Compassion: Self-Care for Sensitive People Healing from Trauma” is itself a wellspring of compassion and understanding for anyone on their journey toward wholeness. Beautifully written, each paragraph creates its own field of healing energy that embraces, eases, encourages, illuminates, and releases.”— Vika Miller, coach

“I think many people will benefit so much from your suggestions. You help people to understand abusive and neglectful behaviours and identify how to draw appropriate boundaries and develop more appropriate responses – so many people can’t work this out because they have grown up with such ‘different goal posts’. It is such a good book.I am coming to the end of my work but had I had your book at the beginning I would have made progress so much faster. It really is a great piece of work.

Congratulations and thank you.”— Therese Kelly

People Say

Voltairine Michel

Wellspring of Compassion is one of the best. It is just scientific enough and just "woo woo" enough to give a well rounded perspective, and like another reviewer said, endlessly kind and comforting. It validates the reader while also offering solutions. Continue Reading (click twice)
