đ Two âThawing the Icebergâ Titles Climb Back into Amazonâs Top 100 for ACA Recovery
Almost 12 years since publication, still going strong!
Posted July 24, 2025
I'm thrilled to share that two books from the Thawing the Iceberg Series have officially returned to Amazonâs Top 100 in Recovery for Adult Children of Alcoholics â a category that means a great deal to me, both professionally and personally.
As of July 24, 2025:
#67 â Thawing Adult/Child Syndrome and Other Frozen States
#73 â Thawing Childhood Abandonment Issues
These books continue to find their way into the hands of people healing from childhood wounds, dysfunctional family systems, and the long shadows of codependency and addiction. That theyâre ranking alongside some of the most respected works in the field is both humbling and motivating.
đč Why These Books Matter
Thawing Adult/Child Syndrome explores the invisible carryover of childhood trauma into adult lifeâespecially in those who grew up in alcoholic or otherwise emotionally chaotic environments. It offers pathways to reconnect with a more whole, integrated self.
Thawing Childhood Abandonment Issues speaks to that deep, often unspoken woundâthe fear of being unseen, unloved, or left behind. It's one of the most downloaded books in the series and resonates strongly with inner child healing, IFS work, and self-reparenting.
