Local author Courtney Buckley launches "The Art of Remembering, a Memoir Offering Hope for Those Navigating Neurodivergence, Grief and Healing"

[August 17, 2026]  ATLANTA, Ill., August 16, 2026 — Atlanta, Illinois author Courtney Buckley today announces the release of her debut memoir, The Art of Remembering, a deeply personal exploration of neurodivergence, grief, trauma, motherhood, and the journey of reconnecting with oneself after years of living in survival mode.

As conversations surrounding nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and authentic living continue to grow, The Art of Remembering offers a compassionate perspective for readers who have spent years masking who they are, carrying invisible burdens, or questioning their own worth. Rather than presenting healing as something to achieve by becoming someone new, Buckley invites readers to consider a different possibility: that they were never broken to begin with.

Blending personal storytelling with reflections on resilience, loss, and self-discovery, the memoir speaks to neurodivergent and highly sensitive individuals, caregivers, and anyone navigating grief or a significant life transition. Through her own experiences, Buckley explores what it means to move beyond survival patterns and rediscover the parts of ourselves that were never truly lost.

“For so many years I believed healing meant becoming someone better,” said Buckley. “What I eventually discovered was that healing wasn’t about fixing myself at all. It was about remembering who I was before fear, expectations, grief, and survival convinced me I had to become someone else. My hope is that readers close this book knowing they are already worthy, already whole, and never needed to earn their place in this world.”
