Plick's newest release <em>The Lingering Shadow</em> asserts that while childhood trauma can have a long-lasting impact on an individual an individual can break from the cycle of negative self-perception self-blame and self-destructive behavior by addressing the trauma at its root.</p><p>In <em>The Lingering Shadow</em> Linda combines her faith personal experiences and science to create a new way to treat and heal. According to her strategy using the power of neuroplasticity the brain can adapt and change by creating new neurons and new networks to break out of autopilot responses.</p><p>The message of her book isn't to share and commiserate on traumatic events - but to show how fear and trauma associated with these events promote unhealthy emotional responses which become a person's mindset well into adulthood.
