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.” An incredible step forward for trauma informed practitioners.
