“This is a powerful and yet empowering book about a difficult subject, and it’s long overdue. Charlie writes not as a victim, nor a survivor, but as a pioneer for how to process and deal with trauma.”
— Dr Ranj Singh, NHS doctor, TV presenter and author
Why It’s Ok To Talk About Trauma
This is the book your brain, body and future self need to read.
More than half of us will have experienced some kind of trauma in our lives - many of us multiple times over. But most of us ignore or avoid our traumatic experiences, and struggle alone in the emotional pain that remains.
In Why It’s Ok to Talk About Trauma, award-winning journalist and campaigner Charlie Webster explores what trauma is, how it impacts us mentally, emotionally and physically, and why our past experiences influence our day-to-day behaviours. She draws on her own story, research and insight, backed by the clinical psychologist that treated her.
‘I wrote this book following my journey through trauma recovery. I’ve included everything I’ve learnt in the hope that it will also help you. I want to show you that it is OK to talk about trauma, but I know it’s not easy. Sometimes it’s hard to admit that has happened to use affects us so deeply. But by the time you turn the final page, my intention is that you will feel different. What has happened to you will not have disappeared but it will feel more manageable and you will be equipped to move forward. Whatever has happened to you, we can face it together in this book. i am with you on this journey.’
