Freedom from Trauma is an innovative holistic guide to help you heal from trauma and support you in moving into the wholeness and fullness of who you are. In this book, Kristina Lea and Heather Ensworth, Ph.D. have combined their personal and professional experiences (of over 50 years) to share their ever-deepening understanding of the process of healing. They present an approach that is called the ARCH model that consists of four primary components for the recovery from trauma:

  • Alignment: Connecting with inner stillness and aligning with your true self
  • Relationship: How to find and develop healing relationships in your life
  • Consciousness: Bringing into awareness the hidden and lost aspects of yourself
  • Healing: Practical ways to heal on all levels and how to integrate a new sense of self

This model includes many aspects of psychological approaches to trauma therapy such as the importance of a healing relationship, as well as how to increase emotional self-regulation and how to work on the developmental impacts of trauma. It also incorporates ways to regain a strong sense of self and heal patterns in relationships.

This workbook is an accompaniment to the book From Trauma to Freedom and is intended to provide you with practical, holistic exercises, meditations and ceremonies to support you in your healing journey in working through the wounds of the past and opening to freedom, joy and living more fully from your true self.

An essential companion to anyone on the journey of healing from trauma, this workbook offers a structured and personalized approach. It is designed to translate theory into action, guiding readers through reflective exercises, journaling prompts, and practical activities that encourage deeper self-awareness and emotional processing.

In addition to its therapeutic benefits, the workbook is versatile and accessible, making it suitable for individual use, group settings, or alongside professional therapy. Its thoughtful layout and user-friendly design allow readers to engage with the material at their comfort level, whether they’re just beginning their healing journey or are further along their path.
