Contributing author to the #1 international bestseller, The Perfectly Imperfect Family, Arleen shares a vulnerable moment that broke her as a mother in her chapter titled A Mirror of Inherited Pain.

The opening paragraph is depicted in this video made by professional film editor, Tyler Ward. "Having studied Conscious Parenting for years and worked for decades as an HIV clinical pharmacist using Trauma-Informed Care and Harm Reduction to connect with traumatized people for their healthcare needs, it was my 8-year-old son that woke me up to my own traumas. In my chapter, I share this moment that started my healing journey."
