Rock Bottom is Where Bad Bitches Are Built Erica Adkins

Healing from trauma, or rock bottom, is much like climbing a mountain. It's intimidating, it's hard, it hurts, but the satisfaction of reaching the summit is worth every second.



As a licensed psychologist, it is Dr. Adkins' job to sit with people during their darkest moments, help them heal the broken parts of themselves, and help them find the courage to keep going. After years spent studying how to help people heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief, her most poignant education came from surviving a string of traumatic events including working in a prison, infidelity, domestic violence, sexual assault, divorce, and military deployment.



Rock Bottom is Where Bad Bitches Are Built is a unique memoir, chronicling the author's journey from rock bottom to resilience that will inspire readers to find their own path to healing. Dr. Adkins takes you on the journey of her life. Of her pain. She shows you that pain and trauma can happen to anyone and that you can not only HEAL but you can GROW and THRIVE following horrific incidents.



In this gripping and heart-wrenching account of the most traumatic decade of the author's life, readers will be drawn into the power of her story, inspired by her resilience, and uplifted by the "footholds" she offers to guide you on your path to healing.

That when you feel as if you have hit rock bottom and cannot possibly move forward, that is just the beginning, brave and courageous one.
