About the Book

A psychiatrist's synthesis of decades of research and clinical work on how trauma reshapes the body and brain, and what current science says actually helps people heal.

Note: this is a secular, clinical title from a psychiatrist and trauma researcher, not a work of Christian theology, included here for readers whose rebuilding involves real trauma and who want to understand the science behind why healing takes the time it takes.

Why This Book Is in the Latter House Library
