In You Are Not Your Trauma: Uproot Unhealthy Patterns, Heal the Family Tree, mental health and addiction recovery expert Caroline Beidler, MSW, helps you identify unhealthy patterns that keep you stuck and live more freely without your trauma--or your family's trauma--holding you back.

Through personal stories, accessible research, and practical steps, Beidler provides a framework for healing. To promote trauma recovery, well-being, and wholeness, she'll lead you through five powerful rhythms about honoring your story, having radical compassion, finding ways to create everyday courage, getting honest with yourself, and living open-handed.

Enriched with soulful interludes from Beidler's mother, Diana Dalles, this book explores how trauma roots itself in our family tree and how we can overcome its grip no matter what we've been through.

You Are Not Your Trauma empowers you to truly write a new story, embracing a life where you are free from the weight of the past.
