Traumatic experiences can affect anyone, often without warning. Their consequences may not become apparent until much later and can lead to significant limitations for those affected. The path out of trauma may be long, but it begins with the first step. Even minimal changes can improve well-being, foster confidence, and gradually create a sense of stability. In this book, Yvonne Dolan draws on her many years of experience in solution- and resource-oriented psychotherapy. Through many manageable and simple exercises, she demonstrates how individuals can regain control over their lives step by step, focus on the small gifts of everyday life, discover dreams and hopes within themselves, design and realize a joyful future, and cultivate pleasant relationships.
