A new, sound and easy-to-use method for understanding and resolving trauma.what causes trauma? The renowned psychotraumatologist Dr Maggie Schauer knows how many people are traumatised in supposedly peaceful environments: by domestic violence, sexual and emotional assault, rejection and exclusion, serious illness or other difficult events that accumulate in life. Parents who beat their children have usually experienced violence themselves. Women who have been abused find it difficult to develop trust in relationships, and this has an impact on friends and families. In many lives, stressful events mix with trauma and experiences of loss long before people become ill, before they need help or become the perpetrators of violence because they themselves experienced violence as a child - because trauma is passed down through generations. Maggie Schauer co-developed "Narrative Exposure Therapy", a pragmatic and evidence-based form of autobiographical storytelling that is in tune with human nature and has been proven to help resolve trauma. In this way, everyone can learn to recognise and break the cycle of suffering and violence.
