8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery

Take-Charge Strategies to Empower Your Healing

By: Babette Rothschild

Narrated by: Donna Postel

Safe and effective principles and strategies for recovery from trauma.

Trauma recovery is tricky; however, there are several key principles that can help make the process safe and effective. This book gives self-help listeners, therapy clients, and therapists alike the skills to understand and implement eight keys to successful trauma healing: mindful identification of what is helpful, recognizing survival, having the option to not remember, creating a supportive inner dialogue, forgiving not being able to stop the trauma, understanding and sharing shame, finding your own recovery pace; mobilizing your body, and helping others.

This is not another book promoting a new method or type of treatment; rather, it is a necessary adjunct to self-help and professional recovery programs. After listening to this book, listeners will be able to recognize their own individual needs and evaluate whether those needs are being met. They will have the tools necessary to put themselves in the driver's seat, navigating their own safe road to recovery.

The author is very experienced and clear about her recommendations for people suffering from trauma.

The content of the book covers basics about how to stay grounded and present. it helps the reader to be able to listen inwardly and follow the particular way that the inner wisdom guides each of us.
The narrator spoke clearly and her voice was like a robot. I didn't enjoy the narration. It's a worthy book for people suffering from trauma.

Great book - very helpful for self-recovery

I like that the book lays out the principles of recovery in a very systematic way. A great deal of information, helpful exercises. Highly recommended for those pursuing a path of self-recovery or to ensure your therapy is taking the right direction.
