“Beverly Engel has created a wonderful literary resource for trauma survivors--a well-thought-out, easy-to-understand guide on how to heal from cycles of trauma reenactment. This book helps you understand why you continue to find yourself in unhealthy relationships, or why you may have turned out exactly like your mother or father despite your best efforts not to. Beverly's well-researched guide feels very much like a warm, caring therapist helping you understand how trauma has impacted you and how to navigate your healing journey. If you have ever found yourself repeating unhealthy patterns or cycles, or attracting toxic people over and over, this book will give you newfound clarity and raise your self-awareness. Even if it seems you have read every book on trauma imaginable, you will learn something new in this one. What I love most about this book is the normalization of human experiences of pain and how easy it is to become stuck in hurtful places. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is recovering from trauma.”
