Heal Trauma: How to Feel It, Unlock Patterns and Release It is a powerful companion for anyone wanting to work through past trauma. Trauma, when activated, can produce a wide range of symptoms including increased anxiety and depression, body pain, loss of memory and concentration, difficulties sleeping, flashbacks, nightmares, the desire to isolate socially and a wide range of intense feelings to name a few.It can also trigger a wide range of behaviours that are often bewildering to comprehend and to allay. Heal Trauma will serve as a guiding light in these dark times helping readers to understand the intense feelings they experience, and help them process and release emotion that has been triggered. The book will also help illuminate patterns of behaviour for instance, procrastination, perfectionism and obsessive rituals and link the pattern to past trauma.The vignettes on patterns will also guide the reader into taking action to undermine the pattern and find alternative ways to respond. The section on releasing trauma engages the reader through a process of creating a visual drawing that reflects their present experience of trauma activation and will help guide a process to release traumatic memory and associated embodied emotion.
This book is intended to be medicine in the moment and a trusted resource throughout ones life, it is a book to pick up repeatedly when another layer of trauma surfaces and the desire to heal is strong.

Alyson Quinn is what I call a life coach. Her book is an easy to read, excellent guide through the difficulties [we experience] on our journey through life. . . . Read, learn, and make your journey through life a more meaningful and pleasant experience.
Bernie Siegel, MD, author of A Book of Miracles and Faith: Hope and Healing
This is a book steeped in the wisdom of a seasoned clinician. . . . Alyson provides deep yet immediately accessible meditations on our emotions, what keeps us from them, and how we can reconnect with them.
Geoff Michell, MA, psychotherapist
As a social worker and clinical therapist with thirty years’ experience, I found Reclaim Your Soul: Your Path to Healing a ‘must read’ for everyone. Ms. Quinn’s skills at expressing the emotional ills of our modern Western culture makes the reader explore his/her own life. The pathway to self-actualization makes us face ourselves in a heightened and new way. . . . Her book comes at an opportune time for all of us to sit up, take notice, become self-aware, and make some changes to become whole again.
Illa Gibson, MSW, CCR
Heal Trauma does a lovely job of helping readers understand trauma reactions and how they can process those reactions within the context of the many 21st-century factors that can make this difficult. This is a practical and accessible resource for clinicians and clients alike.
