Praise for Dr. Truitt's NEW book Keep Breathing
"Keep Breathing by Dr. Kate Truitt is a whirlwind of emotional honesty and intellectual bravery. This book takes readers on a roller coaster ride through the highs and lows of human experience, combining Dr. Truitt's personal trials with her scientific expertise. Her writing style is unorthodox yet utterly captivating, turning a story of personal grief into a beacon of hope for anyone in the throes of life’s chaos. This book doesn’t just share a story; it dares readers to confront their own vulnerabilities and emerge stronger, armed with a deeper understanding of the mind and heart."
Frank G. Anderson, MD, internationally-renowned trauma expert, author of To Be Loved and Transcending Trauma
"Dr. Kate Truitt's new book is a deeply moving memoir and a perfect complement to her first book, Healing in Your Hands. Within these pages, she shares her personal story of tragic loss and the posttraumatic stress that encompasses her life following that fateful day. For those of us who are trauma survivors, these words help us feel less alone and deeply understood. The story continues as a beacon of hope as you, too, will discover the transformational power of Havening Touch techniques and how they allow you tap into the healing potential that lives within us all."
Dr. Arielle Schwartz, PhD, author of The Post-Traumatic Growth Guidebook and The Complex PTSD Workbook
"Keep Breathing by Dr. Kate Truitt is a poignant narrative that gracefully intertwines the threads of personal tragedy and scientific exploration. Following her own experience of deep loss, Dr. Truitt examines the facets of trauma, the impacts of childhood, and the struggle with depression, leading readers on a journey toward understanding and resilience. Her story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to not only endure but also to find meaning, hope, and growth in the face of adversity. This book stands as a powerful example of how personal loss can illuminate the path to self-discovery and healing."
Claire Bidwell Smith, LCPC, author of Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief and Anxious Grief
"In Keep Breathing, Dr. Kate Truitt presents a daring and insightful narrative. This book blends a gripping story of personal loss with laser-sharp technical insights about the brain and nervous system. It’s a candid, almost provocative invitation to peer into the abyss of trauma and emerge hopeful."
Annie Chen, LMFT, author of The Attachment Theory Workbook and I Want to Connect
"Dr. Truitt’s vulnerable exposure of her personal narrative places her wisdom around the neurophysiology of trauma within a concrete framework. Her ability to describe severe stress through its profound chronological impact on her own life and then zoom out to a wider lens of how humans are affected makes the science personal. She models self-compassion, curiosity, and perseverance in a way that only a clinical psychologist and applied neuroscientist with trauma can, learning through her past. Her description of her healing journey and the changes she experiences in her mind-body system is a moving, heart-warming experience. We root for her the way she roots for us all."
Christine Gibson, MD, author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit: Nurture Your Post-Traumatic Growth with Personalized Solutions, @TikTokTraumaDoc, and co-founder of the Safer Spaces Training Program
