Book in Polish by Pete Walker. 'An authentic, empathetic, insightful and at times personal story about the experience of relational trauma in childhood. About how to understand it, and about realistic ways to recover from it. To move step by step from a life that is a struggle with inner suffering, to a life in which we increasingly experience flourishing. Importantly, the author shows what wounds are already left by emotional neglect in the young years, even without overt violence. The book contains many examples to help better understand the mechanisms described. It also contains many practical tips, forming the foundation of self-work for people who have experienced emotional neglect or abuse in childhood and are struggling with the consequences in adulthood. Written with honesty, without making false promises. And at the same time hopeful. Equally helpful for a wide audience as well as for psychotherapists. One of the best books on the subject of C-PTSD that I have encountered. I am very happy that it could be published in Polish".
