Chrystal Lee is the author of Pretty Dark Places: Transforming Trauma, Healing Addiction, and Cultivating an Empowered Life.
Her book tells the story underneath the work she now does with clients: a long route through trauma and addiction, and the slow, unglamorous process of building a life solid enough that the old patterns lost their grip.
That lived experience shapes how she coaches. She has been on the other side of the advice she gives, so she tends to meet people without the flinch or the lecture, direct when directness helps and patient when it doesn't. She starts from the belief that the person in front of her is the real expert on their own life.

Pretty Dark Places is written in a way similar to sitting with a friend for lunch, but that friend has a story to tell you and it has you captivated!
The journey of Chrystal Lee; Pretty Dark Places vulnerably shares her traumatic relationships, her struggles and imperfections with an openness to forgive, heal and find her way.
A nicely paced read that brought healing to the writer and hopefully extends to others.
