The Courage to Heal

For this new 20th anniversary edition, the authors have revised the book extensively. The major changes in this edition are: an emphasis on self-care and pacing; an increased focus on the body’s role in healing; new research on trauma and the brain, traumatic amnesia, memory and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); the inclusion of additional healing tools, including imagery, meditation, spirituality, and body-centered practices; new stories that reflect an even greater diversity of survivors and their experiences; in-depth guidance on relating to family; new prose writings and poetry, most by survivors; a thoroughly updated resource guide, reflecting the abundant books, organizations, films and online resources now available.
