Hello and thank you for choosing to read my book. My name is Anna Gray. I am a 37-year-old woman from Belfast and this is my story of Transformation. I have lived in Belfast for most of my life, spending some time living in Dublin with my family when I was younger and a little time living in Scotland too. It was important to me that this book is more than just a story of my life, because the issues that I write about throughout it are bigger than me and touch so many people's lives every day. I wanted to offer my story and to address some of these larger issues from the perspective of what I have learned about them, both personally and professionally. Throughout my book, I will address topics such as bullying, self-harm, trichotillomania, alcohol abuse, intimate partner relationship violence, counselling and healing practices to name but some.
