Holistic Trauma Healing: Strategies to Integrate the Body, Mind, and Spirit

by Jacqueline Jackson

Overview

Holistically heal trauma with more than a dozen recovery tools that can be used together or separately to fill the gaps in Western Medicine.

In response to trauma, Western medicine specialists often provide only one part of the healing puzzle, leaving you to make sense of the disparate pieces alone during a crisis. With insights from her own experiences, Jacqueline Jackson shares a more personalized and comprehensive approach to recovery. She introduces you to Reiki, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and many other modalities in simple, easy-to-follow terms.

Discover what trauma really is and how it lives in your body. Then, explore healing modalities like therapeutic yoga, somatic experiencing, chakra work, and tapping. With the included research, resources, and hands-on practices, you can change the way trauma affects you and create safety within yourself.

 

"A highly accessible, empathetic, and valuable guide on how to thrive, and not just survive trauma and significant stress."
—Vanessa Elias, owner and founder of Thrive with a Guide, support group facilitator for NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), and certified parent coach
