Tara Louise: I do not work in a field where trauma and stewardship is a big issue but it still hit home. It was a like unconventional at times but I still learned a lot about how to address trauma and the life sometimes just beats you down. I even ordered a couple copies to distribute to those in my community who this may help

B: This book was exactly what I hoped it would be. It validated my experience, it helped put words to what I was experiencing while working in the trauma field, it posed excellent questions for me to think about and provided practical guidance.

Miara Rianin: Social workers, nurses, counselors, teachers, people in emergency services or law enforcement...anyone who faces secondary trauma in their everyday life. One of my professors named this book as basically required reading for a social worker, along with Daring Greatly, The Body Keeps the Score, and It Didn't Start With You. I ended up dog-earing about a dozen different pages because I kept finding pages that I knew I'd have to come back to!

Shelly E: Sooo.... you think because you dedicate your life to helping that it makes you immune to the crap that goes on in the world? This book will clearly show you how we are all impacted by the trauma that we seek to alleviate. A stunning way to open your mind to the impacts your work may be having on your life. Thought-provoking and necessary.

wolf: I was very excited to find a book that promised no nonsense help to manage the stresses of working with vulnerable populations in crisis situations. The book starts out very much full of promise but then seems to meander off into . . . the hard life of working with trauma . . .and case stories of a sort. That is very good, but we know what it's like to work with trauma.
To do the book justice, it is a very valid attempt and I might read past the first third of it one day. What I was hoping for, was a very fast intervention / self-care manual, sort of like Louise Hay or Pema Chodron for trauma workers... maybe reading the first part of the book was all I needed to become clear on what I need.. so either way, it was money spend on a worthy cause - no regrets..

scari: I bought this based on a Vicarious Trauma course I had taken. This book covers trauma from all types of stewardship - animal rescue, species conservatorship, planet preservation, and human caregiving. I did not realize that I had trauma from my years of cat rescue, I had assumed it all came from my work with humans. This book said things that I had only heard but never acknowledged in my head - it was like it was written just for me. In reading this book I recognized the signs of trauma in every one of my coworkers and how realized how much we had changed and hardened ourselves because of our job. This wonderful book talks about how important it is for workers and management to work through and support each other with this, and what you may need to do to help and heal yourself. Most books just point out your trauma, this book also recommends paths for healing and ways of prevention and the use of mindfulness. I have been therapy for a couple of years and this book still blew me away. Everyone from vet techs to scientists to human caregivers needs to get this book!

Trish W: I thought I was doing a good job managing my exposure to others' trauma, until I read this book. What I discovered is that I'm responding in a multitude of subtle ways that have, over time, altered who I am and how I live. Yet, the message I took from the book, is that I chose this path and therefore, as a trauma steward, have a responsibility to manage my trauma exposure response. Instead of feeling hopeless about who I've become, I decided to embrace my responsibility and take back control. I started with simple changes, such as answering my phone when it rings instead of letting it go to voice mail. I noticed an internal shift almost immediately. I had not realized how much I had been avoiding connection and keeping myself isolated as a way to cope with my trauma exposure.
The author's approach to trauma stewardship is systemic and encompasses a variety of domains and ecologies. As a clinical supervisor, I am able to use this material to help my staff recognize and manage their trauma exposure response. We are all using this knowledge to help our clients' caregivers and the external systems that work with our clients recognize and manage their exposure to our clients'...
