Unbroken. Finding Strength While Falling into the Abyss. Healing Practices for Those Who Have Experienced Psychological Trauma

There is a misconception that psychological trauma happens only to people who are too fragile or imperfect to cope with difficulties. A person who has experienced trauma often feels shame for having become a victim. Licensed psychologist Mary-Catherine Macdonald has studied this phenomenon for many years and has proven that trauma helps us survive and speaks to the strength, "unbrokenness," and resilience of our psyche. Drawing on the latest findings in neurobiology, the author debunks myths about trauma and shares proven practices and tools that will help you overcome feelings of shame and navigate the path to recovery more quickly. In this book, you will find: • The latest scientific data on trauma that will help eliminate shame, guilt, and humiliation. • Information on how trauma distorts our perceptions of the world, people, and relationships. • The whole truth about triggers and how they can guide us on the path to healing. • Practices that will help you break the cycle of recurring traumatic events and "rewrite" internal traumatic memories. In this book, you will find personal experiences and real stories from patients that will help you rediscover your inner strength. This book is your "way home," an opportunity to restore relationships with loved ones, forgive yourself, and return to a full life.
