Trauma pervades every aspect of our lives, particularly in recent years between climate change, social justice issues, the coronavirus pandemic, and more. But the truth is that post-traumatic growth, rather than post-traumatic stress, is not only possible but probable. In this book, you'll discover the conditions and compassionate practices that make growth and resilience possible, including:

- How to regulate your nervous system by regulating your breath and body - Trauma-informed self-compassion practices that make you more resilient to the world around you - Skills to set boundaries to aid in your healing - Dozens of other ways to turn your difficult experiences toward growth

Simple and to the point, each chapter offers practices, self-assessments, enlightening science facts, and advice for the real world - perfect for reading a page or two after an exhausting day or sharing with others when they need a lift.

No one gets a pass from life's challenges. The good news is, we are hardwired to turn them into a source of strength. Turn to this book anytime you need to find out How We Grow Through What We Go Through.

Reviews for How We Grow Through What We Go Through: Self-Compassion Practices for Post-Traumatic Growth

A compassionate road map ... this book will prove to be a helpful guide and resource to restore our capacity to treat ourselves and one another with loving awareness. --Sara King, PhD, neuroscientist, medical anthropologist, education philosopher, and founder of MindHeart Consulting A straightforward yet science-based guide to recovery and healing, from the individual to the collective. --Emma Seppala, PhD, Yale psychologist and author of The Happiness Track Chris brings humor, unflinching compassion--and, yes, even playfulness--to a topic that for so many of us can leave us underwater. This book is a buoy. --Caverly Morgan, author of The Heart of Who We Are: Realizing Freedom Together and founder of Peace in Schools The writing is thoughtful, the practices are accessible, and the message is exactly what we need: that we can survive (and even thrive) when faced with traumatic stress. Highly recommended! --David Treleaven, PhD, author of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness: Practices for Safe and Transformative Healing
