You Are Not Your Trauma: An ACT Guide for Healing from Within

By Robyn D. Walser and Darrah Westrup

Book Overview

It is a simple fact, and a powerful promise: You are not your trauma. Noted psychologists Robyn D. Walser and Darrah Westrup have devoted their careers to helping people move beyond the pain of trauma and reclaim their lives. In this compassionate book, Drs. Walser and Westrup show how you can harness the proven tools of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on your own. Step by step, ACT helps you build safety and resilience. Learn new ways to confront feared feelings and sensations, detach from thoughts and self-beliefs that keep you stuck, and reconnect with a sense of meaning and purpose. The book is filled with exercises and guided practices (including audio tracks at the companion website) as well as stories of others on the recovery journey. The path to healing starts here.
