Trauma recovery through the lens of oppression

Healing the Oppressed Body addresses a gap the description identifies in trauma-recovery resources: the limited attention given to trauma shaped by homophobia, transphobia, institutional injustice, isolation, medical experiences, and discrimination. Framed as a therapeutic guide to oppression-based trauma, the book centers experiences often left out of mainstream conversations and makes their connection to trauma explicit. Its focus is on recovery as it relates to queer and trans people, people of color, and others living at the margins.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Queer and trans readers seeking trauma-recovery resources that address oppression.
  • Readers of color interested in books that connect discrimination and trauma.
  • People looking for a therapeutic guide focused on experiences marginalized in mainstream trauma conversations.

Book overview

An essential guide to healing from oppression-based trauma, for everyone left outside of mainstream conversations

There are many books on trauma healing that can change people's lives. Yet when queer and trans people, people of color, and all of us living at the margins look for books that reflect our own experiences and that specifically name the oppression we experience as trauma, we're left empty-handed. There's little that speaks to the specific traumas we experience: homophobia, transphobia, institutional injustices, isolation, medical trauma, and discrimination at every turn. We deserve to have ourselves reflected and considered in the world of trauma recovery.
