Healing from Trauma. How to Cope with Post-Traumatic Stress and Return to a Full Life

A practical and supportive book that will help you identify signs of traumatic experience, overcome it, and protect your mind from trauma in the future.

Many people think that trauma occurs only as a result of very intense stressful events, such as violence or abuse. But trauma is an emotional response, caused by any troubling event—or by a lack of the feeling of safety. Even a stream of news can trigger stress. And we also “pick up” trauma from our loved ones: it is passed down from generation to generation. So any of us can face traumatic experience.

Psychotherapist Katy Morton offers a new perspective on trauma. Only by understanding how it is defined can we overcome its consequences. In the book, you’ll find proven ways to heal trauma, as well as learn what harms your mental health and how to deal with it.

The book will help you spot signs of traumatic experience in yourself, work through intergenerational scenarios, and break the destructive cycle—learn to identify triggers and make sure trauma no longer determines your life.
