I’d decided that I was unlovable, that I had to take responsibility for others’ feelings, and that people are not to be trusted, to name just a few.

This is the book I wish I’d never had to write.  It’s raw, it's deeply personal, and I had to lean into my own courage to publish it. 

And, it’s also the companion guide I wish I’d had through my darkest times, and it felt deeply important to me to share it with you.  

Packed into these pages is the best of what I’ve learnt not just on my own healing journey, but by working with thousands of people as a therapist over the last 20 years.

It includes the frameworks, the discoveries and the models that I have seen transform the lives of thousands of people, and I believe it can do the same for you.

Trauma can be deeply lonely, but I want you to know that you are not alone. Let me be your guide, and we can walk the path together.

Heartfelt, powerful, and brilliant
this could be the best book on trauma I’ve ever read. It combines good science on the neuropsychology of trauma, personal stories, and tons of useful methods. Alex Howard provides a new comprehensive framework to move this field forward. Clearly and beautifully written, it carries a reader along quickly, with useful insights, warm encouragement, and practical tools on every page. A gem.

Alex’s message is that your pain and trauma are gateways to healing. “It’s Not Your Fault" teaches you to reset your nervous system, develop emotional resilience, and practice loving self-care as past trauma heals and you emerge into a happier and more satisfying life.

It's Not Your Fault is a powerful book
with an important message - our trauma is not our fault, but it is possible for us to heal. Through his two decades of clinical experience, Alex has developed powerful and easily accessible frameworks that will help you not just understand how you have been shaped by childhood trauma, but most importantly how you can heal from it.
