“A truly remarkable book that captures the essence of what it is to be a traumatized child, while simultaneously helping us understand, appreciate and facilitate their natural capacity to heal. Written with a deep sense of compassion and wisdom, this book offers clear insight to those who care for and about children.”

“Some books are said, in their originality, to ‘break the mold.’ Trauma Through A Child’s Eyes goes further: it creates its own mold in a way that everyone concerned with the health and happiness of children will be grateful for.”
– Gabor Mate, MD, author of Hold Onto Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More than Peers
“This is the most valuable method I have found to help children reclaim their vitality, alleviate symptoms and develop resiliency to future threats. I only wish I had possessed these skills when the American Red Cross assigned me to the Pentagon Special Response Team in Washington, DC, after 9/11.”
– Lisa R. LaDue, MSW, LISW, senior advisor (co-founder and former director), National Mass Fatalities Institute, University of Iowa
