520    "A compassionate guide to healing from trauma through the 
       power of giving back. If you? ve suffered a loss or 
       trauma? perhaps a life-changing illness, the death of a 
       loved one, or a sexual assault? you probably feel that 
       life as you know it has changed forever. You? re dealing 
       with intense, draining emotions as you try to negotiate a 
       new normal, and you? re wondering if you? ll ever fully 
       rebound. Courtney Clark has been there, and in The Giving 
       Prescription, she shares a fresh approach to the healing 
       journey: one focused on the fact that helping behaviors? 
       like volunteering, donating, and advocating? can help 
       survivors find their footing after a major loss. When you?
       re giving to others, you? re reconnecting with people, 
       participating in something larger than yourself, taking on
       a new role, and perhaps even helping others who are going 
       through the same experience you had. Each of these has the
       potential to strengthen your recovery and help you 
       flourish following a trauma. Starting with an 
       acknowledgment that everyone? s healing journey is 
       different, Clark shares eight questions designed to help 
       you reflect on what type of giving works best for you, and
       when you? ll be ready to try it. And as she draws from her
       own experiences with cancer and brain surgery as well as 
       other real-life stories, she shows how understanding the 
       power of helping others can transform your journey of 
       recovery." --Publisher description.
