Advocating for the active exploration of childhood memories and the natural avoidance that accompanies them, this book provides a clear entryway into complex and childhood trauma work, particularly in cases where tangled histories and overwhelming symptoms make it challenging for both a practitioner and a client to prioritize focus areas.
This book is a must read for anyone recovering from complex and childhood trauma. What it does:
- Introduces a practical strategy for using childhood memory recall to identify and treat unresolved trauma, moving beyond symptom management toward addressing underlying causes.
- Explains how avoidance silently disrupts trauma therapy and provides evidence-informed strategies to recognize and work through natural human avoidance without overwhelming our nervous system.
- Combines clinical theory, case examples, and practical interventions to help mental health clinicians and consumers engage in more effective trauma-focused therapy with confidence and a solid hope for a full recovery.
