Description

The first step to recovery for trauma survivors is to confront the traumatic experience. However, the psychological and physical effects of trauma often leave survivors feeling helpless and vulnerable, making it impossible to face this confrontation. In Who You Were Before Trauma, groundbreaking therapist Luise Reddemann shows how to re-empower the patient, making them a true partner in therapy and guiding them through a process of self-healing. Who You Were Before Trauma has paved the way for psychological trauma therapy in Germany. Dr. Reddemann now brings nearly twenty years' worth of expertise to this English edition, making it the definitive resource for trauma treatment and recovery.

Reviews

"Who You Were Before Trauma is a book to savor. Reddemann sends a powerful message of therapist as a kind of compassionate spirit-guide, helping the patient to discover untapped resources for internal joy and solace--trusting that each patient knows what they need on the path to flourishing. There could be no better guide on that path than Reddemann, and no greater pearls of wisdom than in these pages."--Donna Jackson Nakazawa, author of The Angel and the Assassin and Childhood Disrupted
