Full Synopsis
My latest book is a guide for psychotherapists and other helpers to learn my multidimensional approach to effectively treating the childhood trauma that is commonly at the roots of Complex PTSD. It can deeply aid therapists to mend the damage and arrested development that survivors experienced as traumatized children in the "care" of abusive and/or neglectful parents or other caretakers.

This damage and developmental delay can be remediated when therapists and/or other supportive people use the guidance and techniques that are fleshed out in this book. Such practice has helped many of them to become highly effective, trauma-informed therapists.

The psychoeducational approach herein helps survivors see that their symptoms are normal child reactions to abnormal upbringings that are steeped in abuse and neglect, danger, and lovelessness.

With the therapists' help and compassion, this knowledge then aids them to develop self-compassion for their lifelong suffering.

When therapists successfully midwife the rebirth of survivors' innate self-compassion, they can then expand it into helping them reclaim their instincts of healthy self-protection.
