Overcome the psychological and physiological effects of childhood trauma with this easy-to-use workbook of CBT- and DBT-based exercises and techniques.

The ideal upbringing for any child prioritizes unconditional love and protection above all else. To these healthy children, our world is a fair place full of benevolence and wonder. However, for those who were raised in unhealthy environments or forced into damaging situations, this belief may have been warped or shattered entirely, leading to the adoption of a negative worldview that has stayed with them all their lives. As adults, it can be difficult to heal from this trauma.

It is not, however, impossible. The Childhood Trauma Recovery Workbook for Adults is an accessible guide to clinical and effective healing. Based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), this workbook contains strategies, techniques, and exercises to help you overcome and recover from:

• Depression and anxiety
• Shame and self-loathing
• Grooming and trauma bonding
• Toxic masculinity
• Impostor syndrome
• Self-sabotaging behaviors
• And more!

Written in collaboration by a seasoned mental health professional and a childhood trauma survivor, The Childhood Trauma Recovery Workbook for Adults is an invaluable resource for adult trauma survivors looking to understand their pain and discover inner peace.
