Threads of Belonging
Finding Meaning in Family, Place, and Self
What if belonging isn’t something we find, but something we build?
In Threads of Belonging, psychotherapist Paul Langfield traces the surprising path of a life shaped by family, theater, adventure, trauma, recovery, and love.
From a bustling childhood in Denver to life-changing tragedies, from becoming a father while still a teenager to surviving a traumatic brain injury that altered the course of his life, Langfield recounts the people and moments that challenged him, sustained him, and helped him discover who he was becoming.
Along the way, he navigates addiction, loss, divorce, blended family life, recovery, and the unexpected gift of second chances.
At its heart, Threads of Belonging is a story of resilience, identity, and the ties that connect us across generations. It is a reminder that even when the threads of a life fray, they need not break.
