This should be read by therapists, teachers, and social workers in Western institutions. It reads a bit like a thesis, but it is an educational book above all. It‘s not full of practices or modalities, but rather a grounding for ideological shifts about trauma and the ways Western pathology & systems do not serve Indigenous communities.

Book #20: I am so grateful to be a healing artist and so rarely do I read texts on healing trauma that acknowledge those who straddle the line of healer/healing. The Indigenous healers who share their expertise in this text are gloriously centered in their own healing, their first person experience and cultural learning, the integration of spirit. I recommend this text wholeheartedly to anyone, especially healers & trauma workers.
