Women Therapists on Healing is a powerful anthology of personal essays from women therapists who know trauma from the inside out. This three-part collection braids lived experience with clinical wisdom, offering a compassionate lens on healing that crosses cultural, generational, and systemic boundaries.
Far beyond a typical guide to PTSD, this book
challenges outdated narratives and sheds light on the effects of marginalized
topics, such as chronic invisible illness, intergenerational trauma, racism,
ritual abuse, and human trafficking.
This book will especially resonate
with
● women recovering from trauma● healers and advocates seeking growth and guidance● health professionals committed to trauma-informed and anti-racist practices● friends and family who love and support survivors
The diverse
voices in these essays honor the arduous path of healing as a reckoning, a
reclamation, and a sacred reminder that we do not walk alone.
