"The TAO of Trauma Healing"

Barbara Dee· 2 minutes

In The Tao of Trauma Healing, physician and former psychotherapist Dr. Christy Walter introduces a practical and empowering method designed to help you move through trauma and finally step out from its grip on your life.

Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and mind-body healing practices, Christy explains how trauma affects the brain, the body, and emotional patterns—and provides a clear path toward lasting change. Christy developed this path while on her own arduous journey of healing, and has since used these same 12 steps to help many others.

Through twelve structured lessons and practical exercises, she shows us how to:

  • Understand how emotional trauma affects the brain and nervous system

  • Break emotional patterns that keep you stuck in anxiety or depression

  • Process painful memories in a healthy and empowering way

  • Engage both your emotional and rational mind in the healing process

  • Build resilience, clarity, and emotional freedom

Unlike approaches that focus only on analyzing the past, The Tao of Trauma Healing provides simple, actionable tools you can begin using immediately to improve your emotional well-being.

It was brilliant of Christy to not only write her book as a user-friendly guide, but also create a companion workbook. Also available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc., the workbook is a great support tool with written exercises and coloring pages, all designed for the purpose of healing.

It’s been a pleasure and learning experience working with Dr. Christy. A couple years ago, I helped her with a lovely project for youth, this book, An Unlikely Champion. It’s a great story with illustrations by the author, but it follows her own true and inspiring story.

Christy is an inspiration to all of us, perfectly illustrating my motto: YOU LIVED TO TELL IT. She has “mined for the gold” in her own life stories and written three books that will have a positive impact on many, many people.
