Trauma is a wound – one that we often hide from ourselves and others. Philippa Smethurst – a psychotherapist with decades of experience – has written this compassionate and practical guide to help you to understand, process and move beyond trauma. The book explains twenty common ways that trauma can show itself – from dissociation and anger to brain hijacking and trust issues – but also how you can move on from them. Drawing on the latest brain- and body-based research, this book uses stories, poetry and reflective exercises, to give you the guidance and tools you need.
