Curtis, Millie, and Daniel: Facing Trauma, Transcending Beyond….A Jungian Analysis
About this audiobook
What if the most powerful weapon against trauma isn’t a sword—but an imagination
Through six richly imagined stories, this work follows siblings Millie and Daniel and their father Curtis as they navigate the aftermath of domestic violence. Together they battle sea monsters, fill blank canvases, seek shelter in moonlit forests, and discover that the stories they tell themselves….and each other….can hold what words alone cannot.
Weaving narrative with the depth psychology of Carl Jung, Dr. Solter explores what it means to be a hero who has also been a victim—and why a society that cannot hold that truth condemns its most vulnerable to silence. Drawing on existentialism, feminist philosophy, evolutionary psychology, and even quantum mechanics, this book asks: what does healing actually look like? And who deserves to be believed?
“We cannot keep living like this. We will be fine. We just have to stick together and use our imaginations.”
— Millie, from The Quest for Shelter

About the author
Tiffany Solter, PhD is a mental health professional, educator, advocate, and lifelong seeker of magic whose writing explores the boundaries between life, death, justice, and the profound connections that define us. Born into a family of mountain people spanning Wyoming and Colorado, she grew up shaped, largely, by two grandmothers who taught her, one through train journeys across the West, the other chasing shooting stars across the plains, that anything is possible.
A survivor of a near-death experience in 1996, Solter spent decades integrating what she encountered in that "warm place where light is everything" into a life of healing work, academic achievement, and fierce advocacy. She holds a doctorate with a dissertation on grace and recovery, and has worked alongside peer counselors, nurses, and mental health teams she considers among the most transformative teachers of her life.
Her advocacy voice is unflinching and deeply personal. In "Be a Man": The Violence Society Ignores, Solter turns her clinical expertise and lived experience toward a crisis our culture has long refused to see: domestic violence against men. Drawing on research, survivor accounts, and her own family history, she challenges the archetypal and institutional blind spots that leave male victims invisible, unbelieved, and without adequate resources. The book is equal parts gripping fiction, Jungian psychological analysis, and practical call to action. It is complete with resource guides for survivors, supporters, military families, and children. It is the work of someone who has sat in clinical rooms with these men, loved them as family, and refused to stay silent.
She lives in what she calls Camelot, a home she and her husband Jeff manifested in childhood whispers, surrounded by family, familiars, motorcycles, and what she simply calls the magic.
Between Worlds is her memoir. "Be a Man" is her battle cry.
