 Review 
Wow!!! As I read this book, the word “‘wow”’ came to mind over and over again. Dr. Reese has taken the time to expertly and succinctly describe and explain trauma and resilience through educational content and powerful stories. She has developed many useful implementation tools for counselors who work with families. The tools complement the learning and include exercises from assessment inventories to trauma processing activities to cognitive behavioral strategies for improving relationships, emotional regulation, and social skills. Counselors will find having the content and tools included in one book an extremely useful resource for in their work.
