Welcome to the trauma healing Learning Library!
All of the books listed in the Learning Library section of The Survivor’s Compass Manual are found below in one convenient location. I have read all of these books and consider them a good source of trauma healing information.
Where a book was also used as a research reference for a concept explained within the text of the manual, I have marked it with an asterisk.
