| Summary |
"Too often, we think of trauma as that which breaks our spirit. Instead, says Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald, the trauma response proves our spirit cannot be broken. Here, she offers a radical reframing of what trauma is--and a profound new approach for healing. With the latest research, case studies, and self-care tools, she presents an essential resource for anyone who has gone through trauma or wants to help others who are struggling--providing a path for finding our way home to our bodies, rebuilding our relationships, and returning to full engagement with life."--Back cover. |
