The trusted guide for surviving overwhelm and trauma in today's world, now revised and updated. Trauma Stewardship is the seminal work on sustaining oneself while bearing witness over time to the hardship, overwhelm, suffering, and trauma of humans, other living beings, and the planet itself. Whether through personal caregiving, school, work, or efforts to make the world a better place, trauma exposure is ubiquitous, often experienced as burnout or compassion fatigue. This essential resource helps readers understand the toll on their nervous system, individually and collectively--including, though not limited to, exhaustion, numbness, cynicism, guilt, decision fatigue, or the sense that one can never do enough--and offers practical next steps. Drawing on four decades of frontline experience, this new edition blends the latest in neuroscience, field wisdom, emerging research, and diverse spiritual traditions to offer fresh guidance and steady companionship amid intensifying pressures. Inside:
Trauma Stewardship offers an accessible and compassionate framework for remaining grounded, connected, and purposeful while continuing to show up--for the long haul.
- Tools for recognizing the trauma exposure response in yourself and others
- Concrete practices for staying present and whole
- Proven strategies for continuing to engage in one's community, work, and life
- New Yorker cartoons, because humor is critical
Trauma Stewardship offers an accessible and compassionate framework for remaining grounded, connected, and purposeful while continuing to show up--for the long haul.
