Kiersten Parsons Hathcock - Little Voices: How Kids in Spirit Helped a Reluctant Medium Escape and Heal from Abuse

Advance Praise for Little Voices

Kierstens story teaches us that narcissistic abuse and coercive and controlling relationships scramble even the deepest metaphysical intuition. Little Voices teaches us how insidious these dynamics are, the trauma and generational issues that are activated, and how easy it is to get stuck in the cycle of confusion and self-blame. By telling her first-person story in a vulnerable and raw way, Kiersten reminds us that narcissistic and abusive relationships have a unique architecture, and represent a gradual process of grooming, gaslighting, and indoctrination. Even when the voices around her and in her are trying to guide her out, her story shines a light on how shame can be weaponized to keep anyone stuck and isolated in a toxic relationship. This book is, in essence, a compendium of red flags and can serve as a valuable teaching tool on how to listen to our inner voices and our guides; and to clearly heed these warning signs and act on them swiftly. One persons story can be a powerful lesson and motivator for change for others who find themselves in these kinds of relationships, and reminds survivors that you are not alone.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have read numerous excellent self-help books and memoirs on all kinds of abuse. Rarely have I come across one in which childhood sexual abuse, marital codependent behaviors, and partner narcissistic abuse were presented in a narrative which so painfully and yet prophetically links them together. Little Voices accomplishes this and so much more. With her raw, authentic detailing of the abuses she endured along with her unorthodox gifts from the spirit world, Kiersten Parsons Hathcocks memoir reminds us that until we heal the wounds within us, tragically we are drawn to external sources of validationsome healthy and some dangerous. Perhaps what is most noteworthy of Hathcocks memoir is her unwavering commitment to accountability, integrity, and truthwith herself and with others. We are not left feeling sorry for Little Voices. We are cheering with her and rooting for her all the way.

No one can understand what its like to try to love a narcissist unless theyve experienced it firsthand and Kierstens book, Little Voices, is further validation of that for me. Not only was I so drawn into Kierstens story that I read it in one sitting, but the way in which she shares her experience had me on the edge of my seat, rooting for her every step of the way. Kierstens story takes things to a level often unexplored as she teaches us how to tap into the power of our intuition and trust our gut as a way to heal from narcissistic abuse. Its not just a compelling story on how to recover from psychological and emotional abuse, but a love story on how to honor yourself in a way only you are capable of doing. Thank you for being such an inspiration, Kiersten, and showing us what we need is already inside of us. We just have to look within.

Little Voices was a memoir I couldnt put down. Kiersten Parsons Hathcocks story is one that every woman should read. She gives tons of examples of how she tapped into her intuition, while also showing the humanness of what can happen when we dont listen. As a psychological and emotional abuse survivor, she could have been talking about my ex and I wouldnt have known the difference. This is a book every abuse survivor would benefit from because they would see that they are not alone. Non-abuse survivors would get the insight to why victims keep going back and some of the shame the victims feel when they go back, dont leave, or isolate from the people they love. Now, if that wasnt enough to keep a person reading, she shows you a whole other side of herself along with her special gifts. We get to see all these amazing parts of her that include being a medium and a self-taught carpenter who was on Shark Tank . Her story is a human story. It includes childhood sexual abuse, love, marriage, children, career, challenges, mistakes, downward spirals, intuitive gifts, helping others, and vulnerability. Her bravery and honesty are awe-inspiring. Life isnt always pretty, but learning and exposing the truth in the pain is essential to live an empowered life.

Kiersten Hathcock, as a woman and as a writer, is filled with equal parts heart and grit. I know this after reading the book she wrote, because here she is embracing life with a sweet, strong family, her thriving home-grown business, and an honest, sought-after passion for intuitive healing. All of this is despiteor maybe even because ofhaving endured soul-crushing abuse. Twice. But not only has Kiersten risen above the odds, now she authentically shares how and why in her memoir, so that other women might learn the power of their own inner truths. Its a must read!
