Take back control in this practical guide to breaking and healing patterns of trauma, one day at a time. Acclaimed psychologist Dr Sarah Woodhouse shows us that to start to heal from trauma and be truly well we must take action every single day. Through gripping case studies and interviews with some of the world’s leading trauma experts, this book demystifies the process of trauma healing with resources and tools you can start using immediately. Childhood trauma and emotional disconnection can lead to a profound loss of agency and harmful patterns of denial, avoidance, self-blame, perfectionism, overwhelm, compulsion and control. As a result, we unknowingly repeat deeply embedded subconscious patterns, which means our choices, well-being, relationships and physical health take a toll. To be truly well, we have to take responsibility and create real change in ourselves and our lives; one hour of therapy a week isn’t enough, healing needs to happen the other 167 hours of our weeks too. With Dr Woodhouse’s 6 Principles and 8 Tools, start self-healing one day at a time, and as you do, create real change in your family, community and the world around you.
