Take back control in this powerful guide to breaking and healing patterns of trauma, one day at a time.
In this revolutionary book, acclaimed psychologist Dr Sarah Woodhouse demonstrates that to heal our trauma and be truly well we must take action every single day. Through gripping case studies and interviews with some of the world’s leading trauma experts, The Power of Self-Healing demystifies the process of trauma healing with resources and tools you can start using today.
Childhood trauma leads to a profound loss of agency and choice. It traps us in autopilot, repeating subconscious patterns like compulsive busyness, perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, overthinking, avoidance and self-blame. These patterns are meant to help us survive and cope, but over time take a huge toll on our sense of self, relationships, well-being and physical health.
To be truly well, we have to take responsibility and start to create real change in ourselves and our lives. One hour of therapy a week isn’t enough, healing needs to happen the other 167 hours of our week too.
This book is the map you’ve been waiting for, guiding you to where you need to be to truly thrive. As you learn and implement the 11 Principles and 4 Capacities of self-healing, you will create powerful changes in yourself, your family, your community and the world around you.
Dr Sarah Woodhouse is a researcher, coaching psychologist and trauma specialist. She runs a thriving private practice where she combines Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and Polyvagal Theory to help clients heal unresolved childhood trauma. Her research was funded by the UK’s Medical Research Council (MRC) and explores how our social worlds and relationships can affect the development of trauma symptoms. Sarah is the bestselling author of You’re Not Broken.
