LOVEvolution: A Heartful Approach for Healing Developmental Trauma, presents an integrative, three-part approach for identifying and healing Developmental Trauma. In this book, Janae presents a scientific framework that correlates the mother-child attachment system with the immune system, and shows attachment trauma as the primary cause of chronic and degenerative diseases later in life. The heart, which is at the core of this Mind|Body system, is damaged by attachment and separation trauma, making it difficult to create and sustain intimacy in adulthood. Most books about attachment, developmental trauma, addictions, abuse, family systems therapy, and similar mental health topics—particularly those seeking to make a contribution to this large field—are written from an objective, scientific “outside-in” perspective that is anchored in quantitative research done by other people. This academic and quantitative approach makes the content of a book professionally “legitimate,” but also tends to make it dry, impersonal, and not very alive. It is often very difficult to relate to the author as either a professional or real person in this type of book. This allows her to place its content in a phenomenological framework that is anchored in a qualitative, heuristic research model. Her focus in this book is on using embodied, experiential meanings that emerge out of her personal experiences as she has lived them. This book is, therefore, more personal and also more relational in a larger sense of the word. Not only does she focus on the significant role that her parents, partners, children, and family relationships played in her early development but she also writes in a more relational style. She connects herself to the topics through her own experiences to bring the material to life.
