It is a simple fact, and a powerful promise: You are not your trauma. Noted psychologists Robyn D. Walser and Darrah Westrup have devoted their careers to helping people move beyond the pain of trauma and reclaim their lives. This compassionate book harnesses the proven tools of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in an accessible self-help format. Readers learn new ways to build resilience, safely confront feared feelings and sensations, and detach from harmful thoughts and self-beliefs that keep them stuck. ACT highlights the importance of living meaningfully, and provides step-by-step strategies for doing so. Filled with exercises and guided practices, including audio tracks at the companion website, the book uses stories of diverse trauma survivors to illustrate the recovery journey.
