“Post-Traumatic Parenting is amazing. I’ve been impressed in ways that were quite surprising—especially in having it evoke emotions and experiences related to being a parent and the (now adult) child of parents who were themselves traumatized. There were times, while reading, that I felt overwhelmed by tears, as I felt myself becoming increasingly compassionate toward my children, my parents, and—most difficult of all—myself. I found myself feeling more open to considering how a history of experiencing trauma affects our parenting, and what this means for me and my patients in our understanding of ourselves in the context of a larger culture.” 
—Mark B. Borg, PhD, author of Don’t Be a Dick 

“Parenting under the best of circumstances is demanding! The challenges become particularly pronounced when parents have experienced trauma in their own youth. In her book, Dr. Koslowitz comprehensively explains how parents can heal from their own trauma so that they can be more emotionally responsive and available to their children. In user-friendly language, she explains how post-traumatic parenting can manifest itself in different ways, and then offers practical healing strategies. Post-traumatic parenting has not received enough attention in the mental health field. Fortunately, Dr. Koslowitz’s book fills that gap.” 
—Sandee McClowry, PhD, RN, FAAN, developer of New INSIGHTS into Children’s Temperament and professor emerita, New York University  

“If you’ve ever felt burdened by your past and questioned your ability to parent differently, Post-Traumatic Parenting is the encouraging, insightful, and healing companion you need to finally break the cycle and become the parent you’ve always wanted to be. This book is a must-read for any parent ready to embark on a journey of transformation and hope. For today’s parents, it’s a book that we have all been waiting for.” 
—Shimon Russell, LCSW  

“What we've experienced growing up colors how we parent our own children. And for people who have experienced trauma, the echoes can be especially loud. Dr. Robyn Koslowitz explains with deep compassion the links between our past and our present experiences, and she offers concrete and immediately usable guidance to help parents show up for their kids in a way that fits their deepest values. This book provides both an explanation for why trauma may be the hidden factor in your parenting struggles, and more importantly, what to do about it. I strongly recommend this caring and practical book for any parent who wants to move beyond their traumatic past toward greater understanding and more empowered and empowering relationships with their children.”
