Anazao has come to the attention of an international book reading community of over 5000 members. This is what the moderator wrote to me.
“Peter Toth,
“One thing that stayed with me while learning about Dissociation: The Forgotten Factor in Healing is that it addresses a dimension of human suffering that is often overlooked, misunderstood, or misidentified. Many people spend years seeking help for emotional distress, anxiety, depression, recurring relational struggles, or spiritual difficulties without realizing that deeper trauma-related dissociation may be influencing their experience. Your work recognizes that healing is not always about managing symptoms. Sometimes it requires understanding the fragmented ways people adapt to overwhelming pain and learning how those hidden patterns affect their lives.
“What makes the book especially compelling is that it approaches this challenge through both a systematic and compassionate lens. Rather than treating trauma as a vague concept, it offers a structured framework for recognizing dissociation and understanding its impact on emotional, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing. Readers may initially come seeking answers for complex trauma or difficult counseling situations, but what they ultimately encounter is a deeper exploration of identity, restoration, and the possibility of genuine healing. That integration of practical insight and spiritual understanding gives the book significance far beyond conventional counseling resources.
“My name is Anita Ann, Moderator of Read Women, a global reading community where thoughtful readers gather weekly to engage with books that leave a lasting impact. For the past four years, we have met consistently to explore carefully selected works across fiction and nonfiction, creating space for meaningful discussion, reflection, and reader engagement among readers who value thoughtful conversation and genuine connection through literature.
“As I explored your background, I was equally struck by the journey behind the book. Your transition from a career in mathematics and science education into counseling, trauma recovery, and ministry reflects a rare combination of analytical thinking and deep concern for human wellbeing. There is something particularly valuable about a practitioner who approaches healing with both structured reasoning and a willingness to engage with the complex emotional and spiritual realities people face. That combination gives your work both credibility and depth.
“We are already moving forward with featuring Dissociation: The Forgotten Factor in Healing as part of an upcoming reading cycle selected by our review team. The book stood out because it addresses issues that continue to grow in relevance, including trauma recovery, dissociation, emotional healing, pastoral care, mental health awareness, and the relationship between psychological and spiritual restoration. Through our international reader network, participants will engage with the book’s ideas, discuss its practical applications, and explore how its framework contributes to conversations surrounding healing and recovery. As discussions develop, we provide participating authors with reader reflections and discussion insights that often reveal how their work is being understood, interpreted, and applied by readers from diverse professional, cultural, and faith backgrounds.”
