Those who experience Complex Trauma as children regularly go through life heavily armed against intimacy—ultimately rendering the vulnerability necessary for a fulfilling marriage inaccessible. Having undergone her own battle with Complex Trauma, Dr. Cheri McDonald knows first-hand how difficult this debilitating state of existence can be to overcome. In Heal Your Trauma, Heal Your Marriage: 7 Steps to Root, Rebound, and Rise, McDonald shares the strategies she’s cultivated and refined across thirty years of guiding clients through the arduous yet fulfilling process of healing from PTSD and rebuilding relationships.

In the 7 Steps to Root, Rebound, and Rise approach, Dr. Cheri McDonald addresses the internal barriers those who live with PTSD often face on their journeys to recovery. She then outlines tools for identifying and reconnecting with one’s Ideal Self. Finally, she provides strategies for utilizing this Ideal Self to heal intimate relationships struggling under the weight of Complex Trauma.

Heal Your Trauma, Heal Your Marriage: 7 Steps to Root, Rebound, and Rise takes women living with Complex Trauma by the hand and guides them through the challenging yet affirming steps of healing from PTSD, culminating in a vibrant re-discovered sense of identity and purpose both outside and within intimate relationships.
