“Presence After Trauma” is the only self-help book that doesn’t subtly or overtly give the tone of “you’re broken, you need fixing.” I have a bit of an addiction with self help books and this has been the one that I’ve been able to put into the most practice without feeling shame about myself. Sonia Connolly writes with a compassionate and empathetic tone, and matter of fact in advice. Advice giving is provisional and not dictatorial – she knows that everyone comes from different circumstances, has different goals and values. Sometimes self help books give advice that seems to be one size fits all, or is just another should to add to the list of what’s wrong with you. This book doesn’t do that 🙂
