Her empowering suggestions for clients in psychotherapy include how to know when a therapist is talking too much and when it's appropriate to change therapists. Along with devoting a chapter to relevant spiritual issues, Healing from Trauma also provides tools that have not been shared directly with survivors in this practical way. - Speaks to an increasingly large audience: Sources of psychological trauma include sexual abuse, interpersonal violence, war, natural disasters, life-threatening accidents, and tragic losses. One in 10 women, (and one in 20 men) will experience PTSD. Many more will suffer depression, addictions, and other mental disorders and life problems that stem from unhealed trauma. Two of the biggest sources of long-lasting trauma effects are childhood abuse and sexual assault. Cori's book reaches out to this ever-growing number of trauma survivors. |
