Christina Reese has dedicated her life's work to helping those with trauma cope to live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives. In her book, Trauma and Attachment, she has created a resource to guide clients from a place of fear, anxiety, and trauma to healthy attachment.
In this comprehensive yet accessible book, Dr. Reese provides an attachment framework for treating clients who have experienced a multitude of traumas, ranging from abuse and neglect to medical traumas, natural disasters, and exposure to violence. Through a variety of worksheets, exercises, and activities, this book provides clients with the tools they need to develop a foundation for healing so they can find feelings of safety and security within relationships again.
Clinicians will find tools to help clients heal from the impact of: abuse by helping them establish safety and security within relationships; neglect by teaching them to find their voice and express their needs; medical trauma by helping them adjust to a new normal and better tolerate uncertainty; natural disasters by using mindful grounding techniques to navigate sensory triggers and cultivate mind-body awareness; and witnessing violence by restoring clients' sense of felt safety and helping clients identify what they can control to keep themselves safe.
