Survivors of trauma—whether abuse, accidents, or war—can end up profoundly wounded, betrayed by their bodies that failed to get them to safety and that are a source of pain.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Trauma can take many forms, from abuse at home to sexual assault, experience in war, and many other difficult experiences.

In cases of complex trauma, mental health professionals largely agree that the body itself co...
Emerson remains one of America’s least understood writers, having spawned neither school nor follower.
