Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Terrible events are very hard to deal with, and those who go through a trauma often feel permanently changed by it. Grief, numbness, anger, anxiety, and shame are all very common emotional reactions to traumatic incidents such as an accident or the death of a loved one, as well as ongoing traumatic events such as domestic abuse.

How we deal with the aftermath of trauma and our own emotional response can determine how quickly we are able to 'move on' and get back to 'normality' once more. An integral part of the recovery process is not only recognising and accepting how our lives may have been changed but also learning to deal with feelings of shameβ€”an extremely common reaction to trauma.

The Compassionate Mind Approach to Recovering from Trauma uses the groundbreaking Compassion Focused Therapy to help the reader not only develop a fuller understanding of how we react to trauma, but also to deal with any feelings of shame and start to overcome any trauma-related difficulties.
