As the authors say at the outset, “Everything must start somewhere” and this book is an excellent beginning to broaden thinking in a trauma informed way. It is a resource for practitioners who are prepared to be open minded and who want to understand more about human experience generally and the impact of trauma specifically. It has so much to offer in terms of learning, all provided with a sound evidence base. There truly is something for everyone.” – Fiona Gwinnett, CEO of Wight DASH Do you want to learn how to become an independent trauma advocate who challenges the medical model of mental health in your work?

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in mental health, psychology, or simply looking for a new perspective on these topics. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of mental health issues and how we can approach them in a more meaningful way. I hope mental health practitioners feel brave enough to explore these ideas, finally adopt approaches that are holistic, and take into account the social, political and cultural impacts upon the distress people experience."

This edition also includes diagrams, theories, tools, and peer reviewed evidence throughout. We simply cannot continue to diagnose and medicate millions of people per year, and continue to ignore the root traumas and causes of their feelings, thoughts and behaviours. The reality of mental health care is that the real causes and solutions have been staring us in the face for decades. Humans are distressed, tired, overworked, traumatised, controlled, abused, exploited, confused, lost, scared, and feel helpless. None of those experiences are illnesses of the body or the mind. Trauma-informed, anti-pathology approaches to mental health could change the world. This book could be revolutionary, and many thousands of practitioners have been waiting for something like this for decades. Nothing like this has ever been attempted, and I am so proud to have written the ITIM with Jaimi.”No doubt this work will feel challenging to some in a sector that is dominated by the medical model, where the evidence base is taken as fact rather than theory. The ITIM (Indicative Trauma Impact Manual) is the world’s first completely trauma-informed manual of its kind, designed to indicate, respond to, and understand every kind of human trauma and emotion.
