First of all, I have always enjoyed books about real haunted houses. So on that front alone this is a good read. There were so many occurrences in the house that I ask myself if I could stay or if sheer terror would drive me out. But the theory that CPTSD could be related to one's experience of paranormal phenomena is a new one to me. I find it fascinating. This is the kind of book that I want to read a second time. I look forward to The Meeting Place.

5.0 out of 5 stars: Excellent read!

I so admire June Matthews! To have the courage to come forward and tell about her horrific past, along with the haunting experiences of her house is mind blowing! I can't wait for her next book!

I grew up in a haunted house, and I have PTSD, just like Mrs. Mathews. For the first time in all these years, I made the connection between the two things, including the root cause. I wouldn't wish these experiences on anyone, but I'm grateful that she risked ridicule and disbelief by writing this book. It's a good read just on its own merits, well written and with the ring of truth. But for those of us who've lived in this situation, it may be the only validation we'll ever get: someone else knows what we went through.

I really enjoyed reading this book and found it hard to put down. It's a fresh take on the typically ubiquitous haunted house story and isn't scary, but rather, is positive, enlightening, and not overly dramatized. Being able to watch the DVD and actually SEE what's being described in the book is really fun and helps brings the story to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars: The Reliving: A True Story by June Mathews.

December 15, 2016

Format: Paperback

A true story through the eyes of a woman whose experiences in life led to a collision with the after life. To not fear and learn more about what we don't understand is in itself commendable and brave. To share the horrors of the past and intrigue of the present is to be admired and shared. This book explores the unexplained, the horrors of reality and fear, the true identities of the people for whom you thought you knew, the delight in pure friendships and unequivocally the energy reaction to things we don't understand by either ourselves or others. The book is wonderful and exciting! Sandra Horsley

5.0 out of 5 stars: I believe!

I grew up in a christian home and always believed in the supernatural. Didn't Jesus walk on water, turn water into wine, and feed 5 thousand with a few fish and a couples loaves of bread? I loved your retelling of your experiences in your new home and you made me feel like I was right there experiencing with you. Although I do know their are evil spirits, there are also good ones. I believe that some people that have had traumatizing experiences in their childhood sometimes are able to disassociate from that event. Its an amazing and smart way the brain keeps itself from going crazy. The brain creates the ability for the core personality to put up an amnesic wall and let another part of the brain create a personality to take the trauma. The reliving of the traumatic event is called an abreaction, and with the help of an experienced counselor in D.I.D., the person can be guided back to the memory where they can remember the event and integrate the fractured part of their personality that took the pain. This allows the person to integrate, and never have to physically experience that one event again, although they will now have total recall and healing. I also think that those that have had trauma severe enough, somehow are more sensitive to the spirit world. I also think God is loving and merciful and allows those that have been hurt so awfully to experience angelic encounters. I am looking forword to sharing in the experiences of June's next book!

Have you heard of Ley Lines? They're magnetic line that circle our planet. They have found that along those lines paranormal experience occur. Like the Bermuda Triangle. Many pilots have reported they're electronics go hey wire. Power can go off and on. Sound familiar? I think you might want to look and see if your property runs through one. They have maps online. I could only find a free one at .gov site, but it's too confusing to read. there better maps but you have to pay for them. Maybe you tube has them. My mom passed away two years ago, I was sitting in my car in front of a store with my mom's dog in my lap. First thing I noticed the dog, who usually barks as people go by became very quiet and was staring at the stores electronic doors. Then I saw the doors were opening and closing by themselves. Then they started to only partly open and close. It was like someone was goofing around with them. I could see no one there. I think it was my mom. It's something she would do, I can even think of her giggling. So I wonder if your home is a gateway between realms. I'm an electronic technician and I can see how that adds up. As I read of some of your experiences I knew the spirits were using them to get your attention. Tell your husband that electronics don't normally behave that way. If they go off and don't come on and you know they have an energy source< it's broke. But what you describe is fluctuating power. I know they seem to be off but I bet it's just very low voltage where it appears off. If it comes back on your bulb or whatever is not broke. So he can stop replacing everything. Know with that said, magnetic fluctuations can cause these disturbances. I think that's how the spirits can mess with them. I usually wouldn't leave a review but not only did I liked your book very much, I'm also indebted to you. You've helped me so much. It's funny how my E-Book Reader chose your book for me. I too had a rough and scary start in life. Mom kicked me out of house when I was 15 and pregnant. She never bothered to check on my where about, so I just did what I pleased. She too was an alcoholic and drug addict. Because I was out on my own I was subject to a lot of abuse. What really floored me was that horrific rape you endured, was so similar to what happened to me. I just got goose bumps writing that. I too only remember getting in a red truck that had three biker type guys in it. Them stopping out in the woods, getting out to drink some beers, of course I was scared to death. I remember them pulling me out of the truck and throwing me around like a rag doll then one of them slammed me against the tree and put his you know what in my mouth. Next thing I remember was waking up alone, naked and very dirty. Like you it hurt to get up and move. I got dressed minus a shoe I couldn't find. I don't recall how long I walked but I finally made to a road. Luckily an old man pulled over and took me to a gas station to clean up and then drove home. When I saw myself in the mirror, like you I looked dead. I also had blood all over me mixed with the dirt but when I showered I couldn't find a source to cause bleeding. I'm crying right now but I think it's maybe a healing cry. Like you when ever I was getting raped or beaten I made my mind leave my body. I never got any therapy I'm 58 yrs old now. Because off your book I now know that it'll be ok for me to seek out therapy. I used to be afraid they might make me remember things I didn't want to. Now I know they don't have to. I'm now hoping someone can help me to stop reliving the past. I did meet my Husband in 1981, married 1986 to 2012. Like you it was a good marriage. until it wasn't. I had to move out because he wouldn't. Now I'm once again out on my own and the reliving was pretty bad for awhile. I'm very afraid even though I put in a security system. I live in old duplex not in best area. I can't get my own home until divorce is finally settled. Yes 5 years now. He is fighting me on everything. Why am I telling you this because I want you to know I've already been attacked.. Your marriage seems very solid and I pray it stays that way for ever. I don't know how old you are but I've met many women who also had good marriages until they got into their 50's. Some men want just want a newer model. I'm now pretty much stuck in my house only going out if I have to. I can't even walk my dogs. I wish my landlady would let me have a big dog. I can't walk my two dogs because that's how a man followed me home and beat me up and kicked my one dog in the head causing her eye to bulge out. Sad thing I was in such shock I didn't notice for 4 days. Wow that was good to get that off my chest. Sorry about all that, I just wanted to let you know they're other women and men that also have these things happen. Why some of us are targets for evil I can't figure out. I agree with those who tell you and you also know that some of these entities are trying to help you heal. Sounds like they have done a good job. Hope your always safe and are still as happy as you were at the end of your book. Thanks again for giving me hope. Kathy
