Unlocking the Secret Power of Awe: How Wonder Transforms Trauma into Healing
Walker’s book makes an argument for wonder because it can actually help survivors of many life circumstances, ranging from substance addiction to domestic violence to other varieties of abuse, heal their trauma and build resilience in the face of other hardship. Walker, creator of the Healing Through Wonder Project, has firsthand experience of how wonder can heal, both in her own personal struggles and in her extensive work as a rehabilitation counselor. “Although I’ve found many books in praise of awe and wonder over the past few years,” Walker writes, “I’ve yet to see a book written about the healing power of awe that specifically pertains to survivors of trauma and loss.” Healing Through Wonder, which Walker describes as “part memoir and part guide”, approaches this subject in three parts.
