The book progresses systematically, first defining trauma and addiction separately before exploring their intersection through attachment theory, neurobiology, and psychological defense mechanisms.
It then delves into specific types of trauma and their unique pathways to addiction.
Later sections detail various trauma-informed therapeutic approaches, providing practical guidance on implementing these strategies.
Trauma Connection uniquely integrates scientific research, practical therapeutic techniques, and personal narratives, making it a valuable resource for mental health professionals, individuals in recovery, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the trauma and addiction connection.
