Echoes From The Past seeks to break down the stigma surrounding traumatic experiences with an inclusive approach, not only validating seemingly "trivial" experiences but also giving people the tools to move on with their lives, integrating their painful experiences into a more fulfilling life narrative. Tom hopes that his book will offer explanations as to why difficult experiences can lodge themselves in our minds as well as offer insights from his private practice, shedding light on what his clients have taught him about his own journey and, more importantly, the journey of life.
