Produktbeschreibung

When betrayal shatters your world, it doesn't just break your heart--it rewires your entire body. Embodied Betrayal Healing: What to Do When Your Body Won't Forget is a trauma-informed guide to healing the physical effects of betrayal. Written by licensed physical therapist and betrayal survivor Ann Michelle, PT, CLT, this groundbreaking book bridges clinical insight with lived experience to validate what so many feel but can't explain: betrayal lives in the body. From disrupted sleep and chronic tension to gut issues, hormonal imbalance, and nervous system shutdown, this book reveals how trauma from betrayal can manifest physically--and why it so often gets dismissed by others. It gives voice to those who have been silenced, minimized, or pressured to "move on," offering language for what the body has been trying to say all along. While not every betrayal is legally defined as abuse, the physical and emotional impact often mirrors it. This book is categorized accordingly to reflect that reality--and to honor those whose pain has too often gone unseen. With compassion, science, and practical tools, Ann guides readers through the body's survival responses and offers concrete strategies for moving from crisis to recovery. >Clear explanations of how betrayal affects the nervous system Validation for the physical symptoms you're experiencing Simple tools for grounding, regulation, and body-based healing A survivor-centered approach that does not ask you to fix what someone else broke >Whether you're newly betrayed, struggling with long-term symptoms, or supporting someone in crisis, Embodied Betrayal Healing is a steady companion and an essential resource for recovery that begins in the body.

Autorenporträt

Ann Michelle, PT, CLT, is a practicing physical therapist with over 30 years of experience, specializing in pelvic health and lymphatic therapy. She has served as both a clinician and clinical educator, written professional continuing education courses, and currently works in private practice in Colorado, where she helps clients reconnect with their bodies after injury and trauma. She earned her Master's in Physical Therapy (MPT) from Northwestern University in 1993 and has since worked across clinical, educational, and private practice settings. Ann is also a survivor of deep betrayal--and much of what she shares in this book comes from lived experience. Her personal healing journey has profoundly shaped her clinical work with survivors, deepening her empathy and refining her ability to treat the physical manifestations of emotional pain. She is endlessly curious about the body's capacity to recover and brings that same curiosity to her work with others on their healing paths. She believes the body holds wisdom, that healing is never linear, and that resilience begins when we stop remaining silent and stop expecting ourselves to forget. Ann is the creator of EmbodiedBetrayalHealing.com, a blog-based resource for survivors of betrayal trauma. Her work bridges science, lived experience, and body-based tools to support survivors in reclaiming their physical and emotional well-being after betrayal. She shares ongoing insights through her Instagram and Substack, both under the same name: @embodiedbetrayalhealing.
