Papers and publications

My special interest is trauma. I have published several papers on the subject and contributed chapters to relevant publications.  My book, 20 Ways to Break Free from Trauma: From Brain Hijacking to Post-traumatic Growth (2024), was published by Jessica Kingsley in November 2024.
