Dreaming All The Time: The Recapitulation Diaries Volume 5 - Paperback

Question reality. That's exactly what J. E. Ketchel does In Dreaming All The Time, the final book documenting her three-year-long shamanic journey of recapitulation. Vivid altered states of consciousness and communications with animal and spirit guides teach her that she is so much more than she realizes. As she journeys on, her total healing takes place in deeply meaningful physical, mental, emotional and spiritual ways.

The ancient shamanic practice of Recapitulation led to complete healing from Complex PTSD for J. E. Ketchel. Her five books are a case study in that process, validating Recapitulation as a vital healing modality, offering guidance for anyone seeking a cure. Although J. E. Ketchel's books have been called difficult to read because of the incidences of sexual abuse, this final book, Dreaming All The Time, is replete with magic and mystery, covering the final leg of her dramatic healing process. The hard stuff had to be recapitulated first in order for the author to get to this state of full healing and wholeness. Real healing only comes when the truth is faced and dealt with.

J. E. Ketchel wrote The Recapitulation Diaries for three distinct reasons.

1. To document that Complex PTSD is completely curable.
2. To underscore the brutal truth of what can happen to very young children in communities of every sort. Her experience is not unique. Sexual abuse of children happens all over the world; it's a uniquely human problem, and unless the brutal truth is faced it can't even begin to be addressed.
3. As she discovered, the recapitulating and revisioning of trauma opens the door to a potential pathway to higher consciousness. This includes not only the discovery of life beyond the physical body but a discovery of the multidimensionality of human relationships that make possible the experience of love and acceptance of everyone and everything, for, as J. E. Ketchel discovers, her journey is ultimately about learning what love really is and what it means to be a loving being, indeed, that love is the answer.
