The Simple Guide to Complex Trauma and Dissociation by Betsy de Thierry & Emma Reeves &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

· How does complex trauma differ from trauma?
· What is dissociation?
· How does it affect children?
· How can you help?

These questions and more are answered in this guide to understanding the nature of complex trauma and dissociation, making these seemingly complicated topics accessible to all.

Complex trauma and dissociation is a subject around which there is much confusion and misunderstanding. This can lead to children lacking the support they really need, and even misdiagnosis of the problems they are really struggling with.

Written as a complement to The Simple Guide to Child Trauma, this book aims to inform, clarify and deepen the understanding of complex trauma and resulting dissociation. It also provides practical advice for those caring for or working with these children.

The Simple Guide to Complex Trauma and Dissociation Reviews

4.5
“I really liked this little book. De Thierry takes topics that often overwhelm families and providers and explains them in friendly, easy-to-understand language and illustrations. In doing so, she does a beautiful job at humanizing children and adults who are often misunderstood by society.”
“An excellent and approachable read for anyone working with children. Chapter nine was brillant and focuses on caring for yourself just as much as the traumatised child you work with. As a SEN teacher, which can be difficult, I really valued this book.”
