Dancing Through Darkness: The Journey from Trauma to Freedom
In the stark confines of my El Paso office, I encounter Captain Jason Fuller-physically present but emotionally absent, his body rigid, eyes distant. This catatonic soldier embodies the prison that trauma creates, a prison without walls where the mind becomes both captor and captive. Taking command, I insist we walk together in the park-a simple act that begins his journey back to life. This moment captures the essence of freedom that begins in the mind, the central revelation of my life's journey from Auschwitz survivor to healer. My story begins in 1944 Czechoslovakia, where I stood with my mother and sister Magda in a barren yard at Auschwitz, arms linked, unaware it would be our last moment together. Growing up Jewish in Czechoslovakia had already made us double minorities, but nothing prepared us for what followed. When soldiers pounded on our door that Passover morning, my father's tears as he circled the table kissing each of us suddenly made sense. In my thin blue silk dress-the one Eric kissed me in-I left behind everything but hope. What sustains us when everything is taken? In the cattle cars to Auschwitz, my mother whispered the wisdom that would save my life: "No one can take away from you what you've put in your mind." This became my lifeline when Dr. Mengele separated us, sending my mother to the gas chambers while pushing Magda and me to the right.
