Who knew a book about treating trauma could be so enjoyable? This hope-filled and readable book with relatable examples and humor will be appreciated by clinicians, persons who experience trauma, and anyone who encounters life’s difficulties. It is full of ways to reverse the neurobiological results of trauma and live a full life. I will be recommending this outstanding book to my colleagues and patients on a regular basis. * Lynette Pujol, PhD, MSCP, clinical/prescribing psychologist, and deputy director of the MS in clinical psychopharmacology program at Fairleigh Dickinson University * Kirby Reutter simplifies complex neuropsychological terms and theory so that anyone can understand. His reader-friendly voice uses relatable metaphors that empower learning and amplify healing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how to regulate a dysregulated nervous system, especially given the overwhelm in today’s world. Add this book to your self-help library. It’s a necessity for practitioners and self-healers alike! * Karen Possessky, LCSW, private practitioner and health care ethicist * Healing with Trauma-Focused DBT blends clinical wisdom with real-world practicality.
