Thoughtful and practical tools for dealing with trauma and finding a path to healing at your own pace and with informed advice.

This is a good resource for those beginning their healing journey from trauma.
I think this is a useful starting point for someone curious about healing from trauma. It’s a great entry into this process.

I always go into books like these, focused on "healing trauma" or whatever, with a bit of trepidation -- there's no real one size fits all answer, and sometimes the author can deliver the information as if there is, which can be frustrating when you don't fit in with what's being said to you. With that said, I really liked how much this book covered - ancestral, birth, childhood, and other types of trauma are all touched on. My only wish is that this were a bit longer and offered a few more examples or more information in each section.

This is an excellent book with tools to help a person heal from trauma. There are useful tips and exercises you can complete to help you on your day to day struggles as well as long term healing from trauma. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for an ARC.

I loved the tone of this author. She was very inclusive and made this book a safe space for everyone. She addressed she may get things wrong and encouraged feedback from readers. The diagrams and the QR code to her website was a nice touch. I even tried some exercises including the tremoring and really enjoyed them.

This is a great book to have on hand when you're struggling through a trauma, live with cPTSD, or are living or aiding someone who is. It is filled with useful tips and exercises (and complementary material) that can help the work through the day-by-day struggles as well as process the trauma for long-term healing.

This book is indeed a toolbox. It covers topics such as ancestral trauma, birth trauma, polyvagal theory, somatic therapy, and reparenting ourselves.
Trauma gets trapped in the body, and the author is looking for ways to help get it out. There are some very interesting interactive exercises to do, actual actions you can try out, explore, and see if they work for you. I learned a lot from this book and was introduced to new and different treatments, things I’ve never even heard of or knew existed.

Since the author attempts to cover so much information, it was a little lacking in depth. But it provides an excellent jumping off point.

Thanks to NetGalley, Hachette Books and Christy Gibson for the opportunity to read and review this book.
