Product Information

The service provides logical and rational approaches to traumatised people, which demonstrably consider what is in the best interests of their clients. Similarly, the service believes that trauma responses to distressing experiences are logical, rational, and explainable. The manual describes, explains, and explores everything from nightmares to self-harming in an A-Z of emotions, thoughts and behaviours that are common in traumatised and distressed people. This edition also includes diagrams, theories, tools, and peer reviewed evidence throughout. We simply cannot continue to diagnose and medicate millions of people per year, and continue to ignore the root traumas and causes of their feelings, thoughts and behaviours.

Humans are distressed, tired, overworked, traumatised, controlled, abused, exploited, confused, lost, scared, and feel helpless. None of those experiences are illnesses of the body or the mind. Trauma-informed, anti-pathology approaches to mental health could change the world.

An incredible step forward for trauma informed practitioners. The authors are high achieving academics with a vast amount of experience working directly supporting with people who have experienced trauma.
