Clinical Treatment of High-Functioning Trauma
In Black Women: An Attachment, Identity, and Somatic Approach
She is not in crisis. That is exactly the problem.
High-functioning trauma is easy to miss because the client is competent, self-reliant, and rarely asks for anything. That presentation gets read as strength, gets fewer sessions, and gets discharged early.
This book gives clinicians a three-part frame — attachment, identity, and soma — for the client who looks fine on paper and is quietly running on empty. It is short, dense, and built to be used.
Inside
- Recognizing trauma that hides behind achievement and control
- Attachment patterns that produce compulsive self-reliance and overfunctioning
- Identity in cultural context — what a client will and will not bring into the room
- Chronic stress responses held in the body, and how to work with them
- Sequencing stabilization for a client who already presents as stable
