Many individuals have had their hopes and dreams shattered by trauma. Healing is a significant and critical step in overcoming trauma, but the next step is just as important. Without continuing to regain control of their lives and seek fulfillment, trauma victims are not much better off than they were before the healing process began. Lives overshadowed by the past cannot truly flourish.
Dave Ziegler, the author of a series of highly acclaimed books on raising traumatized children, explores how to take the next step beyond healing toward a satisfying and fully realized life. Drawing on case studies and a lifetime of personal and professional experience, Dr. Ziegler has crafted a clear, realistic guide to reclaiming one’s life, regardless of age, class, or context. His insights are presented in a friendly, down-to-earth style that naturally resonates with all types of readers.
Beyond Healing takes a close, critical look at many of our beliefs about human limitations and offers an undeniable message of hope for those who have paid a high price for past abuse and trauma. It also offers hope for our future and the possibility of reaching both our individual and collective human potential.
Beyond Healing is an invaluable guide for anyone who has personally experienced trauma or is attempting to help someone else who has.
