Who You Were Before Trauma

The first step to recovery for trauma survivors is to confront the traumatic experience. However, the psychological and

physical effects of trauma often leave survivors feeling helpless and vulnerable, making it impossible to face this confrontation.

In Who You Were Before Trauma, groundbreaking therapist Luise Reddemann shows how to re-empower the patient,

making them a true partner in therapy and guiding them through a process of self-healing.

Who You Were Before Trauma has paved the way for psychological trauma therapy in Germany. Dr. Reddemann now

brings nearly twenty years' worth of expertise to this English edition, making it the definitive resource for trauma treatment and recovery.
