- A systems-oriented look at how unhealed trauma can prevent optimal functioning--and what to do about it Trauma Impacts: Repercussions of Individual and Collective Trauma explores the many ways that traumatic experiences affect people from diverse backgrounds, as individuals and in groups. In chapters contributed by experts in their fields, this book offers a systemic overview of how trauma impacts all humans, then delves into the manifestations of trauma in specific populations like BIPOC communities, neurodivergent children, and those in helping professions. The book's third and final section looks at emerging modalities for working with trauma and implications for the future of trauma-focused therapy. Ideal for anyone who works closely with individuals who have experienced trauma--therapists, educators, social workers, and beyond--Trauma Impacts will benefit from a thorough understanding on how trauma continues to influence lives, even long after the fact. Trauma can interfere with meeting basic needs, forming healthy relationships, and finding fulfillment in the pursuit of individual and collective goals. When we conceptualize these impacts, we become empowered to help people process their traumatic experiences, integrate the pain they have experienced, and lead more satisfying lives. * Understand the intersectional effects of trauma on individuals and systems * Discover hope for healing through real-world voices and current research * Consider how collective trauma manifests in the lives of individuals * Gain insights that can help you work more effectively with clients
