Description
Trauma, the Body and Transformation: A Narrative Inquiry by Kim Etherington explores how childhood trauma can impact physical health long after the initial event. This unique book offers personal and theoretical perspectives on trauma and recovery, featuring powerful stories of transformation from individuals who have experienced bereavement, abuse, evacuation, and separation. The contributors share their experiences with illness, disability, addiction, psychosomatic disorders, self-harming behaviours, or dissociation, as well as the pathways they've taken towards healing and wellness. This book provides valuable insights for those dealing with childhood trauma, including family members and friends whose lives are also affected. It will also be of interest to medical practitioners, counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists working in the field of trauma. This narrative inquiry offers a unique perspective on the impact of childhood trauma and the potential for transformation through personal narratives.
