Heal Your Trauma is a compassionate and practical guide to recognizing the lasting effects of trauma and learning how to heal and recover. Trauma leaves traces—in our minds, bodies, and relationships—long after the original wounds occurred. Even experiences we thought we’d ‘moved on’ from can resurface years later as anxiety, depression, anger, substance abuse, or low self-esteem. Drawing on powerful trauma-informed models—including Internal Family Systems, schema therapy, and mindful self-compassion—therapist Dan Roberts shows how to calm your nervous system, reconnect with all parts of yourself, and build lasting emotional resilience. Through clear explanations and guided exercises, Roberts helps readers come to terms with the past and move forward with strength and confidence. The healing process can feel challenging, but the rewards of living an authentic life are transformative. Your wounds do not have to define you—and it’s never too late to heal. For example, you’ll learn: * How trauma affects the mind and body—even years after it occurred. * Practical tools from leading therapy models to soothe and regulate your emotions. * Techniques for working compassionately with your ‘inner parts’ to resolve old wounds. * Ways to identify triggers and develop healthier emotional responses . * Steps for building resilience, balance, and genuine self-acceptance . Whether you’re beginning your healing journey or continuing work in therapy, this book provides an informed, reassuring companion for lasting change. Grounded in clinical insight and filled with accessible exercises, Heal Your Trauma offers a gentle roadmap to moving beyond survival mode and toward wholeness.
