Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy: Healing the Moral Wound

Appropriate for general audience as well as professionals. Case examples with summary of the steps of treatment are very useful.

Dr. Gentry’s book is very well written. It is user friendly and full of hope. The language is simple and easy to understand for anyone overwhelmed by the trauma in their experience. The exercises are simple but effective. I finished this book after I completed his course available through his website. And they pair beautifully together and are very effective. I was able to apply the principles immediately and saw relief.I highly recommend this book, the course and any podcasts by Dr. Gentry to anyone navigating their trauma and healing journey. Excellent. Thank you for all these amazing and cost-effective tools. 🙏🏽

Its a great book that is very insightful and provokes thought. I read it after I did Dr Gentry's online course on trauma, and I would definitely recommend doing it if you are interested in trauma. The book repeats the highlights of the course. It has a lot of useful information on threat response and physiological processes behind it. I like the book, but I like his course better.

I am half way through this book. It is a great book. It will make you really think. It is tense and not a quick read. You will need to take days between reads to give yourself time to process and do excercises. I really recommend this book.

I don't often write reviews, but in this case I chose to write one. I have not finished the book yet, but so far it is very powerful and informative. I have to subtract a star for editing/proofreading. The numerous mistakes in this text distract from the literature. For example, in one paragraph it read "fight, fight, or freeze" twice. Obviously, it should be fight, flight, or freeze. The same mistake twice in one paragraph is excessive. I even found an instance where FFTT was referred to as forward facing forward therapy! Erring on the name of the actual therapy is pretty bad. This text or at least the Kindle edition needs a serious overhaul.

The insight given in this book has helped me tremendously. I couldn't put the book down as I was so intruiged by Dr. Eric Gentry's writings but also I found my anxiety melting away from the act of reading itself which I believe derived from my engagement to the books content. After applying some of the tools given to combat anxiety and stress in this book I feel better equipped to attack it at its root and hopeful in one day eliminating it!

Excellent book for those of us who have experienced and continue to experience the impact of trauma in our lives. Recommended by my psychiatrist who went to the author's workshop on helping patients recover from trauma symptoms. I had my sister read it for me since my mental health challenges affect my ability to focus and concentrate (difficulty with reading). She explained concepts a couple of chapters at a time to me on a weekly basis and provided "homework" that has been incredibly helpful and life changing.

One of most informative books on trauma I have read. I really like how it explains the physical aspect of trauma with current science.

Eric Gentry is THE expert on trauma and healing and this book takes some of the profound research based insights that he uses every day and offers them as tools for self improvement. With amazing insight and some brilliant worksheets this is a real self help book. I can't recommend it enough.

The most priceless skill we can learn is to regulate our autonomic nervous system and this book shows us how. Highly recommended.

This is the knowledge I'd been searching for for years. Why do I get stuck? Why do I get distracted? Why do interactions often get awkward? Etc.If you have any aspects of yourself that seem "stuck", or you have behaviours that you don't seem to be able to control, you should give this a read. There's insights in here that may shed light on things that have never made sense before.This is very grounded, without a lot of woo-woo nonsense, and yet it's full of heart, and was clearly written with love.
