Unhealed Wounds. How Traumatized People Become Those Who Cause Pain

Clinical and forensic psychologist Ahona Guha does not justify the behavior of criminals and does not claim that we should not protect ourselves from them. She only speaks of the need to understand their behavior in the context of what they themselves have experienced.
In her book, she sheds light on "difficult" victims of trauma, whom society often ignores, and touches on such vital questions as:
- What is trauma really?
- How to stop being a perpetual victim?
- What is the difference between trauma and a stressful event?
- Why do some people recover from trauma, while others continue to suffer?
- Where to find the strength and courage to ask for help?
- How to cope with trauma for those who help overcome it?
- How to build healthy relationships with the world for a traumatized person?

"We must recognize the right of people who commit physical or emotional violence to be seen not only as oppressors but also as victims. I sincerely recommend this book to my colleagues (psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists), especially those who work with criminals. Ahona Guha views the problem of trauma not only from the perspective of a person facing cruel treatment but also through the eyes of a professional. Our eyes." — ELENA KOLESNICHENKO, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist, Author of the book "Anxiety Monsters. Exercises and Techniques to Help Tame Anxiety"
