A compassionate guide to trauma recovery
A groundbreaking new book that offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to healing from trauma. Written by counselling psychologist Lee Hopkins, this compassionate guide combines cutting-edge neuroscience with practical tools and gentle wisdom to support survivors on their journey of recovery.
Drawing from decades of clinical experience and the latest research in trauma therapy, Hopkins presents a holistic framework that addresses the physical, emotional, and relational impacts of trauma. The book explores powerful healing modalities including EMDR, somatic therapies, creative expression, and mindfulness-based approaches.
What sets this guide apart is its warm, accessible tone and emphasis on self-compassion. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Hopkins helps readers develop personalised paths to healing that honour their unique experiences and needs. Through practical exercises, journaling prompts, and real-world examples, survivors learn to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and rebuild a sense of safety and trust.
Key topics include:
- Understanding the neurobiology of trauma
- Building emotional regulation skills
