This book is a rare example of something entirely new in coaching. It shines a bright light on a previously existing, and very large, blind spot in coaching and organisational life: the taboo issue of trauma. Shining the light lifts the taboo, allowing the impact of trauma to be understood and worked with effectively and appropriately within coaching. The book is unique in the subject it covers - both trauma and coaching - and in how it applies theory from the therapy field to that of coaching and work, while maintaining coaching boundaries.
