I Didn't Know It Was Trauma is a raw, survivor-led memoir about living with complex PTSD.

Produktbeschreibung
I Didn't Know It Was Trauma is a raw, survivor-led memoir about living with complex PTSD. Written by a New Zealand survivor, advocate, and social worker, this book traces the invisible injuries of prolonged trauma-those that are often misdiagnosed, minimized, or dismissed entirely. With fierce honesty and emotional clarity, Carolyn unpacks the lived experience of trauma that doesn't look like trauma: the forced smiles, the unbearable silence, and the systems that failed to offer care. This is not a clinical manual. It's a reckoning. A hand extended to anyone who's ever asked, "Why do I keep feeling like this?" or "What the is wrong with me?" Carolyn writes from the wreckage-not to inspire, but to tell the truth. Her words offer validation, language, and resonance for those navigating the quiet devastation of complex trauma.
Autorenporträt
For Carolyn Tamm, writing is survival. Her work speaks the truths trauma tried to erase. A survivor herself, she knows the weight of invisible wounds, neglect, and the silence that follows. Her words carry the weight of truth, giving language to pain so many carry but struggle to name.With a background in social work and lived experience across systems that often fail the vulnerable, Carolyn writes for those misjudged, misunderstood, or silenced. Her work stands in defiance of narratives that dismiss trauma as weakness, reminding survivors that their responses are not flaws but evidence of endurance.Based in New Zealand, she offers her books as maps made from survival, not theory. Carolyn writes for the forgotten and the unseen, and for anyone ready to recognize trauma for what it is: injury. Every page carries the message survivors most need: you are not alone.
