All too often, survivors of trauma feel condemned to a life of loneliness.

Trust After Trauma explains how trauma can damage a person's ability to relate to others and helps survivors learn, step by step, how to reestablish relationships with loved ones with an honest acceptance of their trauma-related reactions.

Trauma survivors are often dismayed to find that traumatic events not only shatter their internal sense of well-being, but also leave them withdrawn or isolated.

In this new book, psychologist Aphrodite Matsakis guides survivors through a process of strengthening existing bonds, building new ones, and ending self-perpetuating cycles of withdrawal and isolation.

Step-by-step exercises help you learn how to manage emotions, handle unresolved issues, accept realistic limitations, and find ways to make your relationships a context for healing.
