Breaking Point: A Journey to Self-Awareness and Finding Purpose in Pain - Paperback

by Sammy Kamara (Author), Carol V. Mills Kamara (Author)

This book follows a path from trauma to healing and gives life lessons about the power of faith and doubt during times of struggles and trials... Reaching a breaking point affects our mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health as well as our relationships and can lead to two different outcomes. At the breaking point, a person can be highly pressured, overwhelmed, and burnt out, over-stressed, seriously emotionally wounded, resentful and hopeless. This can manifest itself in emotional conditions such as irritability, angry outbursts, depression, and suicidal or even homicidal ideations. If the stressors remain constant and unabated, they could result in a break that leads to self- destruction or to the destruction of others. But, a breaking point can also result in a positive outcome: an awakening of self-awareness or self- understanding.
