Take back control in this powerful guide to breaking and healing patterns of trauma, one day at a time.
In this revolutionary book, acclaimed psychologist Dr Sarah Woodhouse demonstrates that to heal our trauma and be truly well we must take action every single day. Through gripping case studies and interviews with some of the world’s leading trauma experts, The Power of Self-Healing demystifies the process of trauma healing with resources and tools you can start using today.
Childhood trauma leads to a profound loss of agency and choice. It traps us in autopilot, repeating subconscious patterns like compulsive busyness, perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, overthinking, avoidance and self-blame. These patterns are meant to help us survive and cope, but over time take a huge toll on our sense of self, relationships, well-being and physical health.
To be truly well, we have to take responsibility and start to create real change in ourselves and our lives. One hour of therapy a week isn’t enough, healing needs to happen the other 167 hours of our week too.
This book is the map you’ve been waiting for, guiding you to where you need to be to truly thrive. As you learn Dr Woodhouse’s powerful 11 Principles and 4 Capacities of self-healing, experience the freedom you deserve to break free, and as you do, create powerful changes in yourself, your family, your community and the world around you.
Empowering and important – this fascinating book will forever change how you approach trauma healing.
