The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook: Practical Mind-Body Tools to Heal Trauma, Foster Resilience and Awaken Your Potential

An extraordinary guide through the non-linear process of trauma recovery, written with the wisdom of a deep, compassionate, skillful Teacher and Therapist. This is a book to be savored and worked with slowly, in sections over time, alone or explored in therapy. For those just beginning, the first two Chapters are a remarkably gentle introduction to the terrain of trauma and healing, of therapy and resilience. The mid-section explores the 'heavy lifting' of trauma work, best supported by a secure therapeutic relationship. The final two chapters weave together the extraordinary gifts of transformation inviting us to explore the deepest meaning-making that is so often the 'silver lining' of recovery. I recommend this book wholeheartedly to laypersons, clients, and Clinicians - both seasoned and emerging. A gift for all of us.--Carol Anna McBride The Trauma Project

The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook by Dr. Arielle Schwartz is by no exaggeration a comprehensive guide to life. For the curious, it is written in an easy to understand manner with real life examples. For the studied professional, it contains insights beyond practical learning and into compassion for individuals. This book is not an overnight read. It could easily be a lifelong guide, to be studied in pieces when a person is ready, and returned to for further study and reflection for decades. The volume of wisdom and knowledge in this book is just incredible. For individual study, I would recommend purchasing several blank journals for reflection. Through this book, you will be guided to grow, guided past and through obstacles that are currently visible or invisible, and guided to live life to your fullest potential. --Doe Zantamata, author of Improve your Life in 80 Days
