This Is How We Heal from Painful Childhoods: A Practical Guide for Healing Past Intergenerational Stress and Trauma

Description

Painful childhoods naturally results in many sticky obstacles to adult success, ranging from distrust in others to self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors. During prolonged periods of chronic family stress (intergenerational trauma), a young brain creates deeply ingrained physical and mental habits to survive childhood.

Unfortunately, these habits work against generational trauma survivors in adulthood and can even result in diagnoses like depression, bipolar, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). These perfectly normal reactions to childhood stress do not automatically go away when you grow up! Healing childhood trauma is challenging but possible.

This guidebook presents 20 key concepts for comprehensively thriving past your stressful childhood. Each chapter explains a key concept before offering realistic trauma workbook exercises that show you how to heal childhood trauma and ultimately thrive. Most trauma recovery workbooks focus on 4-5 of these issues in depth but leave out other important concepts!
