Medical trauma affects millions worldwide yet the condition remains largely unrecognized and untreated. It is very real for those living with the ongoing effects of challenging experiences in medical contexts, that stem from conditions such as:

-Painful procedures
-Pregnancy and labor
-Caregiving

Reclaiming Your Life After Medical Trauma provides a roadmap to recovery for patients, healthcare professionals, and caregivers. Drawing from decades of experience as a psychologist, James C. Jackson, PsyD, shares patient success stories, scientific research, and clinical insights to shed light on medical trauma and offer validation, understanding, and practical strategies for healing. Jackson explores evidence-based therapeutic approaches and lifestyle changes that support mental and physical well-being and empower readers to reclaim control over their health and their futures.

With empathy and undeniable expertise, Reclaiming Your Life After Medical Trauma serves as both a guide and a path to healing and transformation, reminding survivors that healing is possible and that they are not alone.
