Resumen del Editor
Finding meaning in trauma work, as a traumatized healer yourself.
The act of caregiving is physically exhausting and emotionally draining, yet caregivers describe it as rewarding and gratifying. Prolonged exposure to human suffering, however, is not without risks - caregivers report high rates of burnout and poor quality of life.
Many care providers believe that their feelings do not matter; that they should ignore their pain, brush off their trauma, wipe away their tears, and just "suck it up". Here, Omar Reda - a Libyan-born American psychiatrist who as an emergency physician and trauma counselor provided care for medical staff caring for victims of trauma - calls upon other healers to break free from cycles of secrecy, toxic stress, and silent suffering so they can continue to empower and inspire those in their care.
Filled with poignant first-person stories and clinical case studies, this book is an impassioned plea for psychosocial trauma care that prioritizes the health of both client and healer.

We all experience stuckness in our lives. We feel stuck in our relationships, career paths, body struggles, addiction issues, and more. Many of us know what we need to do to move forward—but find ourselves unable to take the leap to make it happen. And then we blame and shame ourselves, and stay in a loop of self-doubt that goes nowhere. The good news is you’re not lazy, crazy, or unmotivated. In this empowering and action-oriented guide, you’ll discover why we can’t think our way forward—and how to break through what’s holding us back.

Kristin Neff changed how we talk about self-care with her enormously popular first book, Self-Compassion. Now, 10 years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce.

Historia
If you were raised to believe that painful emotions are a sign of weakness, or if being vulnerable has always made you feel unsafe, then you may have survived by creating a perfect-looking life - a life where you appear to be successful, engaged, and always there for others. The problem? You're filled with self-criticism and shame, and you can't allow yourself to express fear, anger, loss, or grief. You recognize something is wrong, but you're not sure what exactly - only that you feel trapped and alone. If this sounds like you, you may have perfectly hidden depression (PHD).

Until now, we have been taught that forgiveness is good for us and that good people forgive. Dr. Spring, a gifted therapist and the award-winning author of After the Affair, proposes a radical, life-affirming alternative that lets us overcome the corrosive effects of hate and get on with our lives - without forgiving. She also offers a powerful and unconventional model for genuine forgiveness - one that asks as much of the offender as it does of us.

Ubuntu is a Xhosa word originating from a South African philosophy that encapsulates all our aspirations about how to live life well, together. It is the belief in a universal human bond: I am only because you are. And it means that if you are able to see everyone as fully human, connected to you by their humanity, you will never be able to treat others as disposable or without worth. By embracing the philosophy of ubuntu and living it out in daily life it’s possible to overcome division and be stronger together in a world where the wise build bridges, not walls.

A wise and immediately applicable book for NOW!
Dr. Omar Reda has written the book that the world needs right now. While written in the context of caregiving, The Wounded Healer is relevant for anyone who witnesses suffering or makes critical decisions about people’s health, safety, life, and liberty. Dr. Reda elegantly weaves his expertise, personal experience, colleague accounts, and evidence-based practical strategies to help us understand ourselves, our colleagues, our families, and forces that are toxic in the workplace. Reda thoughtfully embraces the concept and state of woundedness as an honorable one that effects the strongest, most resilient, most capable, and courageous people.
Those of us who choose caregiving and safeguarding roles tend to be very resilient. While we may be effective at compartmentalizing our moral and traumatic injuries sustained in our roles, none of us can stave off the insidious and deleterious long-term effects that our stress has on our minds, bodies, families, and colleagues without keen awareness and practicing skills. Reda shines light on the fact that no one is immune to stress and trauma, but we all can take measures to protect ourselves and others as well as give and accept compassionate care when it’s our turn.
If we are to have the chance to thrive, we need to understand the forces at play that have a cumulative effect on us, and by default, our loved ones. Dr. Reda shares that like a diseased organ in the body that has a negative impact on other parts of the body, so does our toxic stress affect our family members. Beautifully, Dr. Reda shares practical tips for reducing the burden of occupational stress and trauma on our families, improving overall family management, and engaged parenting that can serve any parent well.
Dr. Reda bravely addresses bias, discrimination, and the “othering” that results in hostile and toxic environments. He brilliantly points out through examples, “The least we can do is not traumatize others with our own bias & prejudices, lest aggression turns into transgression.” In a world full bad behavior in the context of misunderstanding and hurt, shared stories of understanding and overcoming bias are increasingly important.
I am grateful to have this book in print and audio. It’s dog-eared, highlighted, and full of notes. I look forward to sharing it with a variety of communities.
