A Model for Trauma Healing

“For trauma recovery to be effective, whether professionally or self-help based, it must be tailored to the special needs and preferences of each suffering individual. Dr. Karol Darsa’s book, as well as her Reconnect Treatment Center in Los Angeles, stands out as a model among the few to truly offer a wide variety of options for trauma healing. Among these pages, readers will find a smorgasbord of strategies to sample and choose from. In doing so, they can create a unique combination that best supports their own situation and healing.”

A Guide to Safety, Knowledge, and Skills

“Trauma understood; treatment invaluable! The title itself, The Trauma Map, is exactly what this book presents for those suffering from trauma or for professional therapists who work with clients who are longing to reconnect with themselves. Dr. Karol Darsa maps out the ABCs of trauma, what it is, the symptoms, how it affects us, and especially how to work through it in a way that is easy to understand and process with compassion and empowerment. Reading it is like having her sitting with you, providing safety, knowledge, and skills to guide you through your journey in healing from trauma. As a therapist, I am thankful for this step-by-step map, which shares how to reconnect with the self and to move through trauma with careful consideration, a holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach, and strength-based exercises gained from twenty years of experience with clients—something that cannot be taught in a graduate course. Thank you Dr. Darsa for sharing your professional insight and making your five steps of healing and self-care strategies accessible to all.”
