Carol Miller - Every Moment of a Fall (Corte Madera)

Carol Miller was sixteen when the private plane piloted by her father crashed, pinning her in the wreckage, critically injuring her parents, and killing her twelve-year-old sister. Compiled upon this traumatic event in her life, her father told her he wished she had died instead of her sister. For the next twenty years, she labored under feelings of guilt, lack of self-worth and barely dared breathe in the presence of her family.

When another in a long line of personal crises landed her in therapy with an EMDR practitioner, she began at last to investigate the crippling emotional effects of the plane crash. Using bi-lateral stimulation to access her fiercely guarded memories, she learned to challenge the belief that the crash was all her fault, and that she didn’t deserve to be alive.

Every Moment of a Fall is a brave and revealing memoir of recovery from tragedy, and a fascinating, vividly narrated exploration of the increasingly popular eye-movement therapy developed to heal the wounds trauma leaves in its wake.

Carol Miller holds a PhD in English and creative writing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. A former college professor and administrator, she currently runs a commercial copywriting business in the San Francisco Bay Area. She lives Northern California with her husband, a psychotherapist and EMDR specialist.
