About the book
The Star Behind The Trauma is an honest look at what happens to a person after the hardest chapters of their life — and at the self that is still there underneath it all.
Written with warmth and unusual directness, it moves between lived experience and the practical understanding Desiree brings as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Practitioner.
This revised and expanded edition includes additional material for readers who are ready to move from recognising their patterns to changing them.
Who it's for
- Anyone carrying something they have never fully put down
- People who have healed on the outside and not yet on the inside
- Readers who want honesty rather than platitudes
- People supporting someone through a difficult season
What you'll discover
- How trauma quietly shapes belief, behaviour and self-worth
- Why insight alone does not change a pattern
- What it takes to rebuild self-trust
- How to recognise the star that was always behind the story
