Book Recommendation for September
|
Stolen Childhoods: Thriving after Abuse by Shari Botwin“An Essential Read that Offers Healing, Hope, and Resources for Professionals and Survivors”
|
|
|
Shari's book powerfully combines clinical information and personal experience to illustrate the impact of trauma while offering tools for healing and moving forward. It stands out for its message of hope and resilience, making it a valuable resource for individuals affected by trauma, including those in addiction recovery. As a social worker working in the field of addiction, many of my clients have been impacted by trauma and have used substances to mask or numb their feelings. I am excited to offer this book as a resource to them as they begin to explore balancing their recovery with addressing the wounds of their past, which is so essential to relapse prevention. |
