IT WON'T HURT FOREVER Guiding Your Child Through Trauma

The articulate author of HEALING TRAUMA: RESTORING THE WISDOM OF THE BODY, also from Sounds True, offers a comprehensive guide to helping children recover from traumatic incidents. Most cultures discourage people from naturally discharging their reactions to traumatic events. For parents and caregivers wanting to help traumatized children, or to prepare children who are about to experience a trauma such as surgery, the organized insights and guidance offered here cannot be surpassed. Though the program is detailed, the language and tone stay accessible, even welcoming, and the recommendations make enormous sense. The last quarter of the program consists of melodic poems read with gusto and aimed at awakening deep healing centers in a child. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
