'An important and insightful contribution to the mental health literary landscape.' - Alastair Campbell

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.
