Vanessa Bear, Babette Rothschild

Exercises of healing and transformation for trauma survivors. 
 
 
 
Drawing from neuroscience and psychotherapy with empowering strategies to take charge of healing from trauma, this workbook follows the theme of each of the eight keys in 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery.
