In “Change is Possible: The Seven Stages to Healing Trauma,” Michael Maisey challenges the mainstream narratives surrounding trauma recovery and questions the conventional methods of treatment offered within systems across the UK. Drawing from his transformative journey from a troubled youth to a beacon of hope, Michael offers a compassionate and pragmatic roadmap to healing that departs from traditional academic or clinical approaches.

This book unveils seven critical stages essential for overcoming trauma, each illustrated with practical steps, personal anecdotes, and the deep wisdom Michael has gained through both his professional work with The CIP Project and his personal recovery from childhood trauma. By challenging the status quo and sharing insights rooted in real-life experiences, Michael provides tools and perspectives that empower readers to reclaim their lives and discover that healing is within reach.

“Change is Possible” is more than a guide; it is a call to rethink how trauma is understood and treated. It is written for those who have faced hardship and for the supporters aiding them, serving as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the profound belief that change is not only necessary—it’s possible.
