The Invisibles - Breaking the Silence Ilka B Parent

Sharing intimate details of a psychotherapeutic process is typically reserved solely for those who themselves have gone through therapy. However, there are times when this silence is broken."The Invisibles" is a book about breaking the silence. Breaking the silence of shame. Breaking the silence of guilt. As a victim of domestic abuse, Ms. M. has reached the point where she realizes that she needs treatment. Due to her mistrust in people, she seeks help through Psychodynamic Equine Assisted Traumatherapy. In "The Invisibles", Ms. M. shares her journey. As her and her traumatherapist walk over the "psychotherapeutic bridge" to the side where Ms. M.'s trauma is part of her past, both perspectives are given room to share light onto the process of PEATT (psychodynamic equine assisted traumatherapy) in practice. In that, "the Invisibles" is an extraordinary book with many perspectives, making it a valuable resource not only for those who work in the equine assisted psychotherapy field, but also for those who have experienced domestic violence and may still be invisble. The Invisibles is a book with clinical and practical information as well as a book of hope.
