More Than Your Trauma is a very helpful and informative book on dealing with trauma. Not only does it describe every detail of trauma; it also explains the different kinds, circumstances, types, triggers, and events which can cause it. I personally Love the illustrations of Black women with different expressions found throughout the book. Which makes it aesthetically pleasing as well as powerful.
One of the important aspects of this book is identifying how trauma can affect you. Which I found pertinent to the deliberation of the contents. Especially when describing suppressed trauma, its causes and effects that may have not been considered. This information helps to understand and be aware of the triggers… and getting to the root of the reactions you may have to the trauma you have been through.
The best part is that this book just doesn’t tell you all about trauma. It also takes you on a healing path and how to recognize and cope with it. Which includes mental health, counseling and professional help. Ultimately learning who you are and coming into your healing to lead to a trauma free life.
I was particularly moved in the beginning of reading More Than Your Trauma… I read this sentence many times. “If trauma can be passed down through generations, the good stuff is too.” It is such a positive statement which gives hope to healing and understanding. I recommend giving this book to a friend or loved one who is dealing with trauma.
