The Mark and the Mending

WelltrixHealthy Publishing & Steve Ekeh

AFTER TRAUMA, BECOME STRONGER. You didn't choose what happened to you. But you do have real choices about how you carry it forward. If something happened to you — a single terrible event, or years of something quieter and harder to name — you may have been told to just "get over it." This book won't tell you that. Because getting over it was never really the goal. What you actually need is a way to understand what trauma did to your nervous system, your body, and your beliefs about yourself — and a clear, practical path toward regulating it, healing it, and living fully again. Grounded in the research of leading trauma clinicians — including work on the autonomic nervous system, attachment theory, and post-traumatic growth — The Mark and the Mending translates decades of clinical insight into language and tools you can actually use.
