Blending the clarity of her healthcare background with the courage of a survivor of domestic, family and sexual violence, she reframes trauma not as dysfunction, but as the body's attempt to survive the unsurvivable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHomecoming is for anyone who learned early that belonging required self-betrayal. Who became smaller, quieter and more pleasing to survive. Who was praised for being ‘strong’ while quietly falling apart. Who is yearning for home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than 1 in 4 Australians live with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD). Yet most trauma conversations stop at awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHomecoming goes further. Each of the 10 chapters guides the reader through three stages:\u003cbr\u003eLens – Seeing your story without shame.\u003cbr\u003eMap – Understanding what trauma does to your nervous system.\u003cbr\u003eHomecoming – Rebuilding safety, boundaries and self-trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve read Brené Brown, Gabor Mate and The Body Keeps the Score, you’ll resonate. But Ratu’s voice carries a distinct migrant, intersectional and postcolonial lens, refusing to separate personal healing from systemic harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs conversations around coercive control, sexual violence and intergenerational trauma grow louder, there is a hunger for depth, not just awareness. Homecoming doesn’t offer a quick fix, but something far more powerful: a way back to yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"At the Edges Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49585484005591,"sku":"9781764196123","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0317\/8499\/2899\/files\/9781764196123.jpg?v=1786691952","url":"https:\/\/wanderingbookseller.com.au\/products\/homecoming-the-art-and-practice-of-trauma-recovery","provider":"The Wandering Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
