Every year millions of men and women develop addictions, eating
disorders, depression, and related illnesses due to trauma. Trauma
victims are more likely to suffer from drug or alcohol abuse, to
smoke, or to engage in other self-destructive practices in an
effort to avoid emotions they cannot handle and cope the
hopelessness, despair, and painful feelings often associated with
traumatic experiences. But it doesn’t have to be this way. A
change is finally happening. Society is talking about sexual
assault and abuse, about PTSD and associated disorders. And as
people begin to acknowledge the traumas they’ve endured, they
seek assistance for overcoming their experiences so they may live
full lives free from shame, guilt, and despair. Thriving After
Trauma discusses the many ways trauma victims have overcome the
consequences of a wide-array of circumstances, including physical
or sexual abuse, war-related injury, and loss due to tragedy,
illness, and natural disasters. Real stories illustrate the many
types of trauma people experience and the actions they took to help
them survive, grieve, and move on. Letting go of the shame, guilt,
anger, and fear associated with trauma is crucial to reclaiming a
full life, and Shari Botwin provides insight into strategies such
as journaling, bodywork, mindfulness, and using healing
relationships, such as group therapy, to aid recovery. Any reader
who has experienced trauma or knows someone who has will find
comfort and hope in these pages, and a path forward to a full life.
