About this listen

When trauma enters the lives of the unsuspecting, it steals from their very soul. It not only robs them of peace and joy, it can take years and decades from their lives while they desperately try to fill the hole in their heart, pretending that their soul isn't leaking out of it. No one is ever prepared for trauma, and no one is ever left unchanged by traumatic events.

In the face of such adversity, what allows one person to find the gift in their wound and another to suffer endlessly? Enter Tanya Lauer and Kathleen Parrish, professional counselors at the internationally renowned residential treatment center, Cottonwood Tucson.

With over 40 years of combined experience in helping people survive trauma and find the "gift in their wound", Lauer and Parrish offer The Essence of Resilience - an urgent and vital answer to this all-too-common marauder. Through stories, compassion, and understanding, they guide listeners straight to the heart of resilience - that place where we learn to heal and thrive.

There is something lovely about how the trauma-filled chapters are introduced and ended, which balances out the sadness felt from the stories themselves. This book feels like a private group therapy session. It helps to build compassion for oneself, especially if dealing with difficult coping strategies, and leaves a renewed hope that it's possible to continue to heal.

A beautifully balanced, traumatic but hopeful book
