Title: The Trauma Zone Author: R. Dandridge Collins, Ph.D. Publisher: Moody Publishers January 2007 ISBN: 978-0-8024-8989-0 Genre: Inspirational/Christian Living/Self help/Nonfiction
Emotional trauma has the capacity to spin you in circles. You need lots of support, and one of the things you need is support from yourself. In particular, trauma sets off a voice in your soul—a tape that is filled with negative thoughts…(from The Trauma Zone)
Survivors of severe trauma are never the same. They often become trapped, unable to return to normal life. The Trauma Zone reaches out to survivors with practical, biblical insights to help them get unstuck and move toward healing.
According to Dr. Collins, trauma survivors often go through five stages, they can’t move past the event, they can’t cope with the emotions, they experience flashbacks, etc. The Trauma Zone gives counselors, pastors, and survivors the means to work past the horror and move on with life.
The contents include (but are not limited to)
The Trauma Zone is excellent for counselors, pastors or anyone who might come in contact with trauma survivors (physical, emotional, sexual abuse, lose of loved ones to violet death, survivors of national disasters, or soldiers returning from active duty.) Dr. Collins will give them the means to help them move past the horror of the past and into a future. The book also gives guides to where survivors can go for help, suggested reading, and resources survivors can turn to. $13.99. 192 pages.
