Making Sense of What Hasn't Made Sense

by Ramona Roberts

Overview

Have you ever experienced behavior from a loved one (or yourself) that doesn’t seem to make any logical sense? This book explores the foundational impact of trauma that may be the missing link. Through this lens, Dr. Roberts discusses trauma as it affects the brain, substance use, relationships, emotions, and more. She provides tell-tale signs how trauma can distort perception; drive behavior; cloud one’s sense of safety, power, and control; and leave the individual void of true intimacy. This book helps gain awareness about trauma so the reader can better understand himself/herself, a loved one, or a client.

Making Sense of What Hasn’t Made Sense is geared towards family members, friends, and the trauma survivor. It can also help students and early clinicians who want to gain a foundational understanding of trauma. It is quick and easily digestible read with straightforward explanations, tips, and tools that promote compassion, courage, and hope.

Trauma isn’t something we choose, but Healing is.
