"""Who You Were Before Trauma is a book to savor. Reddemann sends a powerful message of therapist as a kind of compassionate spirit-guide, helping the patient to discover untapped resources for internal joy and solace--trusting that each patient knows what they need on the path to flourishing. There could be no better guide on that path than Reddemann, and no greater pearls of wisdom than in these pages.""--Donna Jackson Nakazawa, author of The Angel and the Assassin and Childhood Disrupted"
