• For survivors rather than professionals — from a therapist who is also a trauma survivor: With the innovativeness of Waking the Tiger and the practical heft of I Can't Get Over It, Cori explores the journey all trauma survivors make, offering practical information and healing stories that provide a way out for those who are suffering. • Unique insights and strategies for healing: As both a licensed therapist and a client, Cori's frank talk about the downside of the psychotherapy field and medications is revelatory. Her empowering suggestions for clients in psychotherapy include how to know when a therapist is talking too much and when it's appropriate to change therapists. Along with devoting a chapter to relevant spiritual issues, Overcoming Trauma also provides tools that have not been shared directly with survivors in this practical way.
