I spoke with Sue Penna on recovering from trauma, Sue answers your questions. Sue Penna, a UK pioneer in ‘trauma informed training’, draws on more than 20 years of experience working with the NHS’s Mental Health Services, and specialised experience in domestic and childhood abuse. The book acts as a recovery resource for individuals who have left violent relationships, helping them remove the guilt, shame and blame that can surround abuse. The Recovery Toolkit takes the reader on a journey that is part discovery, part guidance, and is based on the successful 12-week group programme of the same name, also created by Sue. It helps the reader to understand, challenge and remove the voice of the perpetrator. *** Mentioned in the podcast: Covid19: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03dNVXQEUiU My thoughts on The Recovery Toolkit: https://youtu.be/vvXbOBtgnE4 *** Abuse Talk Podcast currently offers a series of interviews with those that work in the domestic abuse sector.
