| Summary |
The experience of trauma, whether a single incident, like a car accident, or more chronic, systemic exposure, like childhood sexual abuse, is life altering. Added to the primal emotions of fear, shame, rage, and uncertainty about how to cope is the unsettling sense that you are not quite who you used to be. What does a post-trauma identity look like? How does one come to accept this new identity? And what are the healing strategies that can help to recover a sense of self? This book guides you in finding answers to these tough questions. --Provided by publisher. |
