In this innovative journal, trauma expert Glenn Schiraldi provides adult readers with practical, evidence-based skills to help them heal from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). By using trauma-informed and resilience-building practices, readers will learn to rewire their brains and replace shame, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem with self-compassion, safety, and satisfaction.
