Escondido, CA – Trauma is an aspect of life few of us escape. From psychology to pharmaceuticals to spirituality, many therapies are available for healing and yet, healing from intense trauma remains elusive. Author Tarra Judson Stariell (Colombia 1973-74) knows all too well the challenges and benefits healing from trauma can bring.

After joining the Peace Corps she returned to her native California to share a paranormal message she had received, asking her to “return home and share with your family and others that life as you know it on Planet Earth will end if humans do not change the way they are living.”

After having desperately sought a way to impart this message from various disciplines, philosophies, religions, and modalities, she ended up living in a spiritual cult.

Sanity Lost and Found

Along with others, she was brainwashed and battered until finally she was  able to extricate herself. All this and her subsequent recovery and licensure as a psychotherapist is chronicled in her first book,  Sanity Lost and Found: A True Story of Brainwashing and Recovery, [Ranch House Press, 2017]

Flashpoints of Awareness: Lessons Learned from a Life,  her second book, published in 2023, is her continued sharing of quantum physics, A Course in Miracles [Schucman and Thetford], and using healthy coping mechanisms for life’s challenges.
