Beschreibung
“Powell has a rare ability of combining evidence-based insight with profound humanity, validating the complex realities survivors carry long after the abuse itself ends. This book doesn’t just educate, it makes survivors feel seen, understood and less alone. A truly important contribution to the conversation around trauma, recovery and healing.”
–Georgia Kinchin, CEO & Founder of Heard – Survivor Space™
"Powell has written a comprehensive and accessible book that will be valuable for both people with lived experience and the professionals who support them. Particularly compelling is her observation that traditional models of symptom reduction often overlook repeated interpersonal abuse. Powell’s reframe of recovery as ‘an ongoing, generative process of reworking identity, relationships, and possibilities not defined by harm’ is a powerful takeaway."
–Ursula Benstead, Psychologist and Creator of the Shark Cage® Framework
This book provides a broad perspective on trauma and recovery which not only considers the immediate impact of trauma, and how people cope, but the longer-term impact and recovery process. Powell shares the journeys of people with lived experience of family and sexual violence, as well as insights from both research and practice evidence. In doing so, this book brings together what we know about trauma and its impacts on our thoughts, feelings and actions, as well as the daily struggles of recovery in the aftermath. Written in an accessible style, and with real accounts of pathways to healing, this book is intended as a resource both for practitioners, counsellors, therapists and case workers – and for those looking for some insights into their own journey of recovery. It features reflective activities in each substantive chapter that apply the learnings from research, lived experience, and practitioners and therapists in the field.
