Reading this book is like looking into a mirror. We will see ourselves much more clearly, will understand ourselves much better and will come up with better ways of being and of doing.
—Thích Nhất Hạnh, Zen Master & peace activist
Trauma Stewardship offers something essential: profound yet practical wisdom that doesn’t look away from the world as it is. Clear-eyed, powerful, and deeply humane, this book is exactly what we need for a time such as this.

In a world (and histories) saturated with violence, Trauma Stewardship is both urgent and indispensable. Blending deeply embodied compassion with grounded clinical research, it reframes what it means to bear witness—offering not formula, but compass and method, bridging survivorship and caretaking, oppression and healing at once. Most vitally, it equips us to sustain our humanity while supporting repair and renewal, casting a profound, practical guide for anyone seeking strength and purpose in the face of rupture.
—Ocean Vuong, NYT bestselling author of On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
Trauma Stewardship en español!
While Trauma Stewardship has been translated into a number of languages, this will be the first time it will be in Spanish.
Published by The Trauma Stewardship Institute, the Spanish revised and updated edition will be available in late September as as well and pre-orders are available through our website.
We are not taught in school how to navigate overwhelm and trauma. This brilliant book balances emotional warmth with remarkable depth and reminds us we are not alone. It equips us with essential tools to overcome what may feel like insurmountable challenges. A critical read for all.
—Devan Agrawal, climate tech researcher, Stanford University
This book is a gift, a wise and compassionate guide for those who undertake the difficult work of caring for the traumas of the world.
