Book 101 Review

Maggie Mccane

Trauma Psychotherapist disrupting the space, let's talk about what actually works for healing.

I’m Maggie McCane, a trauma therapist and practice owner who helps high-achieving, capable people understand why they feel stuck despite doing “everything right.” I use EMDR and body-based approaches through a trauma lens most people haven’t heard before—looking not just at Big T trauma, but the smaller, repeated experiences that shape the nervous system over time. I’ve worked in jails, child welfare, nonprofits, and private practice, which gives me a grounded, real-world approach to healing. Listeners walk away with clarity, practical tools they can use immediately, and relief from the belief that they’re broken.

I’ve never been drawn to doing mental health work the “normal” way. Early in my career, I moved to Honduras, then went on to work with people most clinicians avoid—men, individuals struggling with addiction, people on probation for sexual offenses, and those incarcerated in jail settings. I also fostered three teenagers, which taught me more about trauma and resilience than any textbook ever could.

Carolyn Sherrow

Trauma Survivor & Mental Health Advocate

I'm an author, speaker, and survivor whose ministry through Cords of Grace exposes the works of darkness while illuminating the goodness of God. After enduring ritual abuse and mind control in my early life, I experienced profound healing through God's relentless love, compassionate counseling, and divine guidance. My journey through a dissociative disorder became the foundation for a powerful testimony of faith, healing, and redemption.

A former physician assistant who practiced medicine for twenty-three years, I bring both clinical insight and personal experience to my writing and speaking ministry. My work focuses on the intersection of mental health, emotional healing, and spirituality, offering deep exploration into topics including soul ties, identity, forgiveness, judgment, and the spectrum of dissociation—from simple "tuning out" to the complexities of Dissociative Identity Disorder.

I'm the author of My Personal Holocaust: Triumphing Over the Devastation of Trauma-Based Mind Control, where I share how yielding to God's gentle guidance led to profound transformation. My writing has been featured in Pentecostal Evangel magazine, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and Bethany House anthologies. Through my books, blog posts, and speaking engagements, I help readers and audiences collaborate with God to discover their true identity and understand the supernatural effects on the mind.

My mission is to help wounded souls develop dependence on God rather than on people, while reminding others that with God, no wound is too deep to heal. A lifelong Colorado resident, I enjoy my flower and vegetable gardens when not writing or ministering.

Victoria Volk

Certified Grief Specialist, Energy Worker, End-of-Life Doula & Podcaster: Helping those whose lives have been upended by grief and loss find themselves again.

Victoria is a self-published author, Adv. Cert. Grief Recovery Specialist®, Creator & Podcast Host of Grieving Voices, Usui and Karuna Reiki Master, Certified Biofield Tuning Practitioner, YouMap® Cert. Coach and End-of-Life Doula. She aims to use her strengths and skills through a variety of offerings that meet people where they are at and help those whose lives have been upended by grief and loss go from surviving to thriving.

Many people wouldn't identify as a griever. The truth is, we all grieve or have grieved something or someone. There is something we wish would be (or would've been) different, better, or more in our lives. I bring a unique perspective to grief that's based on being a child-griever and my life experience that followed. I can speak to many aspects of grief and cater my message to a wide variety of audiences based on my background and the work that I do. People will receive new information and gain new knowledge that they then can apply to their life and the lives of those they love.
