Even in the best of circumstances, life can sometimes seem like a
parade of traumatic events. The good news is we come equipped with
the ability to grow from our adverse experiences. Researchers call
this response "post-traumatic growth," or PTG. Psychologist and
mindfulness educator Dr. Christopher Willard has gathered essential
mind-body tools for PTG into one concise volume. After a brief
crash course in the latest research on trauma and the mind-body
connection, we learn to access our innate resilience through
body-based practices, mindful awareness, and generating compassion
for ourselves and others. This is the first easy-access guide to
handling the traumas of everyday life, with a retro-modern design
that follows on the author's popular mindfulness titles for
children. With just enough of the latest research to inspire
confidence in our ability to regulate our trauma responses, and in
the friendly voice of a fellow human under stress, Dr. Willard
kindly guides us through a variety of strategies to help us more
easily "grow through what we go through."

our Zensations from the tips of our toes to the very top of our
heads and find out all about the things our bodies are telling us.
Gain the confidence you need to succeed-in school, with friends,
