Cover of 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery
Trauma recovery is tricky; however, there are several key principles that can help make the process safe and effective. This book gives self help readers, therapy clients, and therapists alike the skills to understand and implement eight keys to successful trauma healing: mindful identification of what is helpful, recognizing survival, having the option to not remember, creating a supportive inner dialogue, forgiving not being able to stop the trauma, understanding and sharing shame, finding your own recovery pace; mobilizing your body, and helping others.

This is not another book promoting a new method or type of treatment; rather, it is a necessary adjunct to self-help and professional recovery programs. After reading this book, readers will be able to recognize their own individual needs and evaluate whether those needs are being met. They will have the tools necessary to put themselves in the drivers seat, navigating their own safe road to recovery.

Cover of 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery Workbook

Drawing from neuroscience and psychotherapy with empowering strategies to take charge of healing from trauma, this workbook follows the theme of each of the 8 keys in 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery. The two books complement each other; but it is not necessary to have read the original to benefit from this workbook, which presents practical exercises and activities integral to safe trauma recovery and designed to support readers’ control of their mind, body and life in the aftermath of trauma.

One thing is for sure: there is no one-size-fits-all method for healing trauma. This workbook will help readers identify, assess and celebrate the resources they already have, and add more resources to their toolbox.

Most importantly, the authors do not subscribe to the old motto “no pain, no gain”, fostering instead the concept that healing from trauma should not be traumatic.
