Cognitive Trauma

Chappale Burton, author and survivor of deep childhood trauma, shares his mental struggles and the tools and techniques he used to heal after being abducted, raped at gunpoint and then witnessing the tragic murder of his mother and stepfather at age 8. Unlike other books written by clinicians and therapist, this book offers firsthand strategies and a glimpse into the mind of someone who has experienced several horrific events and emerged stronger.

As Black people, we are more likely to face a traumatic experience or suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But being Black is about more than the violence that has been perpetrated against us. It also means living a life of dignity and self-worth. We can pull ourselves out of the fire of painful experiences and gain the psychological flexibility needed to thrive, not just survive. Jennifer Shepard Payne presents culturally tailored acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) skills to help you heal from trauma, so you can live a meaningful life that is in tune with your own values.
