Description

Fans of Lori Gottlieb's, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, and horse lovers alike will appreciate this therapist's intimate journey in "the other chair" as she strives to untangle the trauma from her equestrian childhood that now threatens her marriage. Raw and riveting, Girl, Groomed is seasoned psychotherapist Carol Odell's evolving story of coming to terms with the impacts of her own history of sexual abuse and violence at the hands of a predatory horse trainer who, for far too much of her young life, held all the reins. Set in the equestrian world of Virginia, this candid memoir details how, starting at ten years old, Carol falls under the spell of Clarentine, the charismatic-and explosively violent-owner of the stables just down the hill from her house. In tandem with that story, Carol examines the multi-faceted consequences of the complex trauma that resulted from the exploitive relationship Clarentine cultivated with her-including the resulting crisis she blindly imposes on her marriage. Chapters toggle back and forth between scenes of her childhood growing up jumping horses on the show circuit and the therapy sessions she later undergoes as an adult. Using her own journey as an example, Carol demonstrates in this insightful memoir how unintegrated trauma limits us and our connection with others-and how the work of uncovering and reintegrating "what we do with what happens to us" can become the very source of our liberation.
