This book applies the basics of buddhist philosophy and psychology to trauma recovery. While most of the trauma focuses on child sexual abuse (an occurance thats way more common than we would like to admit), everyone can benefit from this book - even if you have never experienced big T Trauma (war, rape, murder, etc.) It is full of helpful advice and new perspectives for buddhists and non-buddhists alike.
