In recent years the word 'trauma' has become ubiquitous. Yet it remains widely misunderstood. In Trauma Proof international expert Benjamin Perks redefines how we see childhood trauma, and outlines a new path towards healing and prevention.

For 25 years, Perks has worked for the UN and UNICEF on eradicating global barriers to child wellbeing, including poverty, hunger, disease, the mobilisation of child soldiers and population displacement. But he has also been on a personal journey of healing from his own childhood, spent living in the UK's care system and on the streets.

Today, new research is revealing little-known aspects of childhood trauma. It is no surprise that it drives addiction or poor mental health. But how does it explain a heightened risk for heart disease or diabetes? Why does it so comprehensively correlate with poor life outcomes? And how can we not only heal from, but prevent, the types of experiences that negatively impact on child development?

In Trauma Proof, Perks explains the science behind these findings, and argues that making simple changes can break damaging inter-generational cycles. Ultimately, he shows how building secure attachments and improving the quality of your relationships can radically transform your life, at any age.©2024 Benjamin Perks (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK Emotions Personal Development Health Mental Health

An incredible book that I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone. It sheds light on how childhood trauma shapes our lives through powerful true stories of those who have experienced it. At the same time, it is deeply motivating—helping readers recognize their struggles and find the strength to overcome them.
This book should be read by everyone, including policymakers, as it provides valuable insights into which national programs can bring the greatest benefits to society. The writing is compelling and clear, making it an engaging and enjoyable book to listen to ❤️
