Description
The Politics of Trauma offers a unique approach to somatic transformation, combining social analysis with healing techniques. This book is designed for therapists and activists who understand that trauma healing and social change are interconnected.
Staci K. Haines invites readers to look beyond individual experiences of body and mind to examine the social, political, and economic roots of trauma. By exploring these sources, including racism, environmental degradation, sexism, and poverty, readers can identify and address the underlying causes of trauma, bridging individual healing with social transformation.
This book is an essential tool for those seeking a justice-centered approach to somatic transformation, providing a framework for understanding the complex relationships between trauma, social change, and personal well-being.
