It is a simple fact, and a powerful promise: You are not your trauma.
Authors: Robyn D. Walser and Darrah Westrup

Walser and Westrup show how you can harness the proven tools of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on your own. Step by step, ACT helps you build safety and resilience. Learn new ways to confront feared feelings and sensations, detach from thoughts and self-beliefs that keep you stuck, and reconnect with a sense of meaning and purpose
