Where Does It Hurt?: Learning to identify your trauma and heal - Paperback

by Joshua Okpara (Author), Jada Spruill (Editor)

People of every culture and society are facing the dilemma of trauma. The traditional view of trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event. Although this definition is befitting to describe trauma, its limitations create room for confusion. How do we measure what a horrific event is? Can trauma be measured?

Because of the limited definition, many don't take the time to properly diagnose what they are feeling before identifying it as traumatic. This word gets thrown around too quickly without much context, which causes many to fall victim to self-diagnosing their situation as a traumatic event without truly understanding what they are truly feeling.

This misdiagnosis can have you placing a magnifying glass over your circumstances, leaving you in a traumatic state with no solution or tools to identify what you're feeling correct.

Trauma is inevitable. We will all, at some stage, experience an unpleasing event that will trigger an emotional response. How you respond will determine how long your trauma last.

Knowing where it hurts is critical to your road to recovery. Proper diagnosis is needed before healing can take place.

In this thought-provoking book, I want to give you the tools needed to effectively diagnose your issues and walk you through the steps to recovery. We must all learn to identify where it hurts.
