How to locate, process and recover from psychological wounds

All of us have – to a greater or lesser extent – suffered from traumas in our lives, often at a young age. The less we address these traumas, the more they have a habit of causing us difficulties in the form of broken relationships, nagging anxieties, depression or physical symptoms like insomnia, digestive issues or back ache.

This book helps us understand what trauma is, how it can affect us and how we can liberate ourselves from its unfair and painful legacy. At once deeply practical and packed with ideas, the book functions like a humane and wise guide through a range of our most puzzling psychological difficulties. We are shown how to understand our pasts, assess our pains and finally say goodbye to troubles and repetitive patterns that have dogged us for too long.

This – at last – is a route to liberation and the calm self-awareness and fulfilment we have been searching for.

Chapters include:

•    Causes of Trauma
•    Symptoms of Trauma
•    Relocating Trauma
•    Processing Trauma

Matthew ★★★★★

I've read a lot of books on trauma that stay theoretical, but this one actually walks you through processing the wounds instead of just naming them. The way it breaks down how early experiences shape us made me put it down more than once just to think.

Steven Z. ★★★★★

I read this right after a difficult conversation with my father, and the section on childhood wounds felt like it was written for me—the exercises are practical, not just theory. It took me a few days to get through because it stirs things up, but that's exactly why it works.

Abigail Z. ★★★★★

I was skeptical that a book could actually help me untangle stuff I'd buried for years, but the way it breaks down how trauma forms in childhood made everything click. The guided steps for locating where a wound started are so clear I finally stopped feeling lost in my own head.
