What My Bones Know: Complex PTSD
By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD—a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years. In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown of San Jose, California, to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don’t move on from trauma—but you can learn to move with it.

Truth and Repair
How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice From one of America’s most influential psychiatrists, a powerful manifesto for reimagining justice, based on the testimony of trauma survivors. The #MeToo movement brought worldwide attention to sexual violence, but while the media focused on the fates of a few notorious predators who were put on trial, we heard far less about the outcomes of those trials for the survivors of their abuse. The conventional retributive process fails to serve most survivors; it was never designed for them. Renowned trauma expert Judith L. Herman argues that the first step toward a better form of justice is simply to ask survivors what would make things as right as possible for them. In Truth and Repair, she commits the radical act of listening to survivors. Recounting their stories, she offers an alternative vision of justice as healing for survivors and their communities.

Treating Trauma and Addiction
with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model: A Bottom-Up Approach In sharp contrast with the current top-down medicalized method to treating addiction, this book presents the felt sense polyvagal model (FSPM), a paradigm-shifting, bottom-up approach that considers addiction as an adaptive attempt to regulate emotional states and trauma. The felt sense polyvagal model draws from Porges' polyvagal theory, Gendelin's felt sense, and Lewis' learning model of addiction to offer a graphically illustrated and deeply embodied way of conceptualizing and treating addiction through supporting autonomic regulation. This model de-pathologizes addiction as it teaches embodied practices through tapping into the felt sense, the body’s inner wisdom.

Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic
How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal From It Imagine, if you will, a disease—one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice, one that transfers easily between parent and child, one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis. Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.

Trauma Sensitive Yoga in Therapy
This book presents the successful intervention known as Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TSY), an evidence-based program for traumatized clients that helps them to reconnect to their bodies in a safe, deliberate way. Unlike traditional, mat-based yoga, TSY can be practiced without one, in a therapist’s chair or on a couch. As Emerson carefully explains, the therapist guides the client to become accustomed to feeling something in the body—feet on the ground or a muscle contracting—in the present moment, choosing what to do about it in real time, and taking effective action. With over 30 photographs depicting the suggested yoga forms and a final chapter that presents a portfolio of step-by-step yoga practices to use with your clients, this practical book makes yoga therapy for trauma survivors accessible to all clinicians.

Trauma and the 12 Steps
An Inclusive Guide to Enhancing Recovery This trauma-informed approach is for clinicians, therapists, sponsors, and those in recovery. The 12-step programs like AA and NA help countless people recover. Still, many feel 12-step programs have a narrow focus and are lacking in many ways. The label alone eclipses traumatic histories and experiences that feed addiction, some dismissive of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place. Advances in addiction medicine, social theory, trauma, neuropsychiatry, and inclusivity need to be integrated into 12-step programs to reflect the latest research and what it means to live with an addiction today. Dr. Marich is an addiction and trauma clinician in recovery herself. She builds bridges between the 12-step's core foundations and up-to-date developments in trauma-informed care. Her approach treats the whole person, not just addiction, and fosters profound healing, growth, and transformation.This trauma-informed skills toolkit explores how trauma impacts addiction, recovery, and relapse, and offers inclusion for atheist, agnostic, and LGBTQ+ communities. There are huge differences between being trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive. The book also addresses traumatic, spiritual abuse and how current spirituality-based approaches to healing create a profound impediment to recovery. This is a landmark, enlightening, and helpful book for all readers.
