"The childhood of my memory" is a story about transformation and healing, the author’s very personal journey to his own heart and to a self worthy of love and life. The publication provides an insight into the autobiographical analysis of traumatic experiences of childhood abuse. It was decades later, while experiencing growing signs of depression and isolation, that Laurent Ziegler was able to engage with the painful recollections of these events. The book captures memories in paintings, drawings, text and photography in order to give the unspeakable a name and a form. With a text by Sonja Busch, founder and coordinator of the European Association for Holotropic Breathwork and an epilogue by Manfred Nowak, co-founder of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Human Rights, Secretary General of the Global Campus of Human Rights and Head of the UN Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty.
