Becoming Your True Self
Becoming Your True Self

Navigate healing from trauma's deep, unseen roots.

If you've been feeling like your past experiences are holding you back, "Becoming Your True Self" may resonate deeply with you. Vivian Broughton doesn't just focus on the big, dramatic events often associated with trauma; she delves into the formative, pre-verbal experiences that shape us without our awareness. This book isn't just about identifying issues—it's a practical guide to start moving toward healing, offering a hopeful message that even the most buried traumas can be addressed.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Trauma is a situation in which one is not in control of one's life. This book is about becoming the author and authority of your life, rather than a hostage to it. We tend to think of trauma as the big, obvious events, such as major catastrophes like 9/11 or a tsunami, or as childhood abuse and neglect. These are important, of course, but there is another potential trauma that is rarely talked about. It happens at a time we do not remember and cannot discuss. This is 'symbiotic trauma,' the trauma of coming into a less than welcoming world at the beginning of life. It is a trauma that happens before memory, in that pre-verbal time of our existence, and it influences us profoundly, including our capacity for dealing with later traumas. This handbook will take you on a journey of hope. Trauma can be healed and resolved. You can't do all the work of healing your trauma on your own, but this handbook gives you some basics to help you on your way, and provides pointers to finding appropriate help. Vivian Broughton has been a psychotherapist in private practice since 1989. She has developed her current work along the model proposed by Franz Ruppert, in which unresolved trauma—particularly early attachment trauma and the entanglement with earlier systemic traumas—underlies many of our psychological difficulties.
