Books
I’ve written a number of books for professionals, including three that are my best sellers: Cultural Competence in Trauma Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and the award-winning Subversive Dialogues: Theory in Feminist Therapy.
Your Turn for Care: Surviving the Aging and Death of the Adults who Harmed You, is my newest work, and the first book I’ve written for a general audience of adult trauma survivors.

Written CE courses
These CE courses are available online in a written format that allows you to read for free, paying only when you take the exam and get the credits. A nice way to learn from your own computer and enhance your abilities to work with trauma survivors. A complete list of all my live, written and recorded CE courses is available on the CE Workshops and Courses page.
