Trauma Healing Guide: Understanding Trauma with Healing Exercises

In 1997, Gerald Kiesman started to heal a traumatic event he experienced.

Throughout his healing, Gerald recognized that information on trauma in books and on the

internet was written in academic terminology. Gerald believed it is important to write

about trauma in layman’s term (easy to understand) that includes healing exercises.

Having an understanding of trauma and knowledge of healing exercises is the foundation to healing trauma.

In 2000, Gerald started to develop the book.

With 16 years of research on trauma, post traumatic stress disorder

and healing exercises, and facilitating over 300 workshops throughout Canada,

Gerald has developed this trauma healing guide that provides a clear and basic understanding

of how trauma impacts the mind and body, a understanding of post traumatic stress disorder and

healing exercises to eliminate the stress from the traumatic event. Journal writing exercises are also included.

The Trauma Healing Guide is a valuable resource for trauma survivors, community workers, caregivers

foster parents, military personnel and veterans.
