Author Description

Hiking the Mountain in Flip-Flops is the powerful story of author Diana Sumner’s traumatic childhood experiences and eventual diagnosis of Complex PTSD. As an adult, she was trapped in a cycle of self-hatred, self-blame, and addiction. For decades she searched for answers to her suffering. By tapping into her higher self, she discovered a broken inner child in desperate need of healing. Hiking the Mountain in Flip-Flops recounts Diana’s experience of connecting with that wounded inner child through dialogue. These dialogues helped free her from the lifelong toxic shame and torment she had suffered for decades. Hiking the Mountain in Flip-Flops offers survivors a non-clinical approach to healing from C-PTSD and an answer for those suffering from the adverse effects of childhood sexual, physical, or emotional trauma.
