Amnesia has been a part of fiction for many years. Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity is a classic example. The character was apparently based on the real-life case of Ansel Bourne, who in 1887 was likely the first documented case of amnesia. Even Agatha Christie suffered her own brush with amnesia—or maybe not. This one has been the source of argument and conjecture for decades.

I frequently receive questions from crime writers about amnesia so it remains a common topic. In fact, amnesia questions were included in my Question and Answer books

How many of us have heard motivational speakers tout a "Positive Attitude?" The truth is “positive” often has nothing to do with it. Getting what you want is almost always about tenacity.

In this episode 239, we visit with Holly Hughes, intuitive healer and author of “Real, Not Perfect: How to Become Your Happy, Authentic Self,” a guide for the lost, for healing past wounds, and breaking free from limiting beliefs.

Holly is an intuitive healer with a lifetime of experiences overcoming loss, trauma, and regaining self-worth and power. Using personal healing stories, guided meditations, mindfulness, and her own intuitive gifts, “Real, Not Perfect” provides a step by step process to regain your voice.

Clinical psychotherapist Danielle Duchatellier Boucree called the book “…informative, motivating and validating. It’s the absolute best combination of a warm, fuzzy blanket in front of a fireplace and that perky little cheerleader we all knew in high school. You will love how easy it makes being actionable with its workbook feature and how its meditations feel like they are customized for you. I plan on incorporating some of it in my private practice as a clinical psychotherapist. This is a must-have for everyone’s bookshelf.”
