I applied the steps of the EDHIR® process and was able to finally get behind the wheel again!" - George R. "I would want everyone who works with traumatized people to read this, practice it, and offer it to their clients.

I have read a number of books written by abuse survivors, psychotherapists and the like, in my own healing journey from sexual abuse and in research for my own memoir. Abundance Beyond Trauma is a valuable, worthy read. The 1st time through, I read it to acknowledge the author’s resilience and courage. I was also intrigued by her development of the EDHIR process. Jeannine’s process of working with triggers is something new to me. It made complete sense! The book is written with heart, respect and intelligence. I am going to read it a 2nd time now, given it’s also a workbook of exercises.
Jeannine has had a tremendous journey of healing, and offers not only lessons learned, but fully integrated practices for bringing together mind, body, and soul. I admire her bravery in sharing both her trauma and her long road to true health, as well as bringing to light the incredibly rich tradition of Ayuerveda (an ancient and much more holistic approach to “healthcare” than anything traditional Western medicine offers).
Jeannine’s system, while certainly all-encompassing and no doubt impactful if undertaken with professional guidance, might be difficult to accomplish for those new to trauma work - the very nature of trauma is such that it often takes years to get to a point where one is comfortable enough to admit the trauma, let alone turn to face it; breathe through it; interact with it; and ultimately transcend it.
That being said, the whole-person approach Jeannine advocates and teaches here is one of the most comprehensive and truly beneficial I’ve seen contained in one book. I just don’t know that I’d attempt to heal real trauma alone with just this book as a guide. It’d be worth scheduling a call with Jeannine for that experienced guidance alongside the practices!
My favorite quote by the author is, "The reality is that unforgettable experiences are a form of trauma that has left an impression in the mind-body system." Each of us has experienced trauma, and that trauma has affected our health. Jeannine Rashidi's book, Abundance Beyond Trauma, teaches us how to heal from unhealthy experiences, changing the way we relate with ourselves. Our inner child can receive comfort and healing when our adult self is brought into the memory, nurturing and providing for what our inner child needs. This practice is not new to me so I can speak to its effectiveness. My body and mind have psychologically and physiologically improved with this practice. There are many other beneficial healing practices taught by the author. It is a must-read! I will refer to it often in my continued work toward healing past experiences, as well as improving my future health!
Abundance Beyond Trauma is an excellent resource to help you heal from trauma you've experienced in your past. The author shares her past experiences of trauma, which you may or may not relate to, and then goes step by step through the process(es) she used to heal from those traumas and have an abundant life. While my trauma is different to what the author experienced, I felt like she did a great job explaining step by step the process to help with any type of trauma, and her story of triumph was inspiring! I highly recommend this book to anyone who has experienced trauma in their past!
This book was inspiring and knowledgeable as the author takes you through her traumas and struggles. But it's how she overcomes these troubles and helped other people along the way that was powerful and enlightening.
I absolutely love this book and will be referring back to it often. Not only is the author’s personal story inspiring, her perspectives and the tools presented in the book show a profound understanding of traumatic experiences and how to heal. Such valuable information. Buy it!
