Journey Through Trauma: A Trail Guide to the 5-Phase Cycle of Healing Repeated Trauma

As a therapist, Gretchen Schmelzer has watched far too many people quit during treatment for trauma recovery.

They find it too difficult or frightening or they decide that it's just too late for them.

So she wrote Journey Through Trauma specifically for survivors - to help them understand the terrain of the healing process and stay on the path.

Ultimately, the healing journey is one of trust as survivors come to trust their capacity to rely on help from others and to trust themselves and the work they have done.
