Decolonizing Trauma Work - by Renee Linklater (Paperback)

Decolonizing Trauma Work is a groundbreaking book that offers a decolonizing approach to healing and wellness in Indigenous communities on Turtle Island.

With a foreword by Lewis Mehl-Madrona, this book explores the "soul wound" of colonialism and its impact on Indigenous notions of wellness and wholistic health.

Through dialogue with ten Indigenous health care practitioners, Linklater critiques psychiatry and psychiatric diagnoses and offers practical methods for helping individuals and communities through trauma, depression, and experiences of parallel and multiple realities.

This book is a valuable resource for education and training programs, health care practitioners, healing centres, clinical services, and policy initiatives.

With Linklater's extensive experience working with Aboriginal healing agencies and First Nation communities, Decolonizing Trauma Work is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand and address the complex issues of trauma and healing in Indigenous communities.
