This book is a meaningful companion for anyone who is working to heal the harmful impacts of past traumatic experiences and lead full and connected lives. Alyson Quinn brings emotions alive and provides the structure, understanding, and processes necessary to facilitate transformation. Through right brain-oriented imagery exercises, Quinn skillfully guides the reader to release stuck feelings and patterns, by facing them head on rather than cementing them further with fear and avoidance. Heal Trauma: How to Feel It, Unlock Patterns, and Release It is an invitation for lasting change.
