San Antonio, TX – WEBWIRE – Friday, August 22, 2025

At 86 years old, Gerda C. Robinson is proving that it is never too late to raise your voice, share your truth, and ignite change. A survivor of Nazi Germany and the lifelong scars of trauma, Gerda has transformed her pain into a message of hope through her powerful memoir, From Trauma to Peace: How We Reclaim Our Lives.

Born into the horrors of WWII, Gerda endured hunger, fear, neglect, and abuse. Even after emigrating to the United States at age 22, the wounds of her childhood followed her into adulthood emerging as chronic pain, panic attacks, and depression. But her life changed when she met Dr. Loran Pilling, a physician-turned-psychiatrist who helped her confront the unspoken traumas of her past.

Negative feelings have to be confronted rather than suppressed, Gerda says. Through Dr. Pillings guidance and her own courage, she discovered that true healing comes not from burying emotions but from facing them with honesty and love.

In her memoir available in both English and German Gerda candidly explores her struggles with PTSD and the therapeutic methods that helped her reclaim her life. She emphasizes the urgent importance of social emotional learning (SEL), strong communication within families, and above all listening to children with open hearts and open eyes.

Her prayer for the future is simple yet deep:

Social emotional learning is a must, if we want to create an improved society. Communication is the key ingredient. Ask the children how they are feeling. Help them find the words. love is the language they need.

A Voice That Cannot Be Silenced

Gerdas story has touched readers around the world, and now she will bring her powerful message to an even wider audience with her upcoming radio interview.

This highly anticipated broadcast will explore her extraordinary journey from the trauma of war to the peace of healing offering wisdom, comfort, and inspiration to listeners across generations.

Audiences can expect an emotional yet empowering conversation the one that not only reflects on our inner courage but also calls for immediate attention to the needs of todays children.About the Book
