"A groundbreaking book that defines a new paradigm for helping others in the 21st century. It is designed as an essential foundation for service providers to gain knowledge and skills for excelling in their role as a professional caregiver. This book goes far beyond simply defining and advocating for trauma-informed care (which has become an important new method for caregiving). Instead, it teaches the developing care provider the mastery and skillset needed to safely and effectively intervene, with a trauma-focused approach, in the lives of those who are suffering from a painful past. Providers will learn how to facilitate healing and recovery in clients and patients lives, without overstepping the bounds of their professional scope of practice. Readers will appreciate the honest and straightforward writing style of this book, one that's been written by caregivers, for caregivers. We invite you to join us on a journey of learning to become an instrument of transformation in the lives of those who need our help." -- from Amazon.
