On Wings of Storm Healing Beyond Traumas of Life

In our unpredictable world, we encounter crises and disasters that can leave us with traumatic and tragic experiences. Be it the unexpected death of a loved one or the sudden onslaught of a tsunami, how do we live through these traumas and catastrophes, and yet find healing in the midst of pain? In On Wings of Storm, leading therapist Anthony Yeo takes us through the difficult issues pertaining to trauma and its symptoms. He provides possible views to questions related to why pain and suffering occur. The subject of loss, grieving and the need to let go is also addressed. To this end, the author s description of the process of grieving will help the bereaved embrace sorrow as a response to loss. To help children make sense of their traumatic experiences, he also discusses the physiological, cognitive, emotional and behavioural impact of trauma on children and how to bring about healing. Finally, the author delves into key processes that facilitate healing and help the bereaved or victims soar above the storms of life. Counsellors and caregivers - those who work with victims of traumatic incidents and for those who lend a helping hand to someone afflicted by such incidents will find this book a significant resource.
