The transformative guide to recognising, preventing, and healing trauma by Dr Paul Conti, with a foreword by Lady Gaga.

'I can say with certainty that this man saved my life. He made life worth living. But most importantly, he empowered me to find and reclaim myself again.' β€” Lady Gaga

Do the work to heal yourself and find a path through trauma.

Trauma is everywhere, and so many of us are silently affected by it. Stressful, challenging, and frightening events can happen to anyone, at any age, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted. Left unchecked, difficult experiences can have a lasting psychological effect on our wellbeing.

In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, leading psychiatrist Dr Paul Conti sets out a unique set of tools anyone can access to help recognise the signs of trauma, heal from past hurt, and find the road to recovery.

Drawing on the most recent scientific research, Dr Conti breaks down the topic into clear sections, looking at why trauma happens, how it manifests in the body, and what we can do to move past it. In the book, you'll discover the three different types of trauma you might face, as well as practical exercises and solutions for getting to the root of the problem.

This is an important, life-affirming book, one that invites you to empower yourself against trauma, own your life experiences, and learn to thrive β€” not just survive β€” in the wake of life's difficulties.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
