Jackie Poet travelled the challenging path of trauma recovery himself. From the depths of a distressing and abusive childhood, he struggled to make sense of his experiences and find a way forward. He fought, won, and lost many battles and learned from them all. Through years of personal psychotherapy and a focused study of trauma, neglect, and abuse, he gained personal insight, resilience, and motivation.

Jackie Poet is a pen name. While he fully acknowledges the destruction and devastation of his past, using a pen name sets safe and effective boundaries, enabling him to discuss what happened to him when and if he chooses to. This allows him to focus on what matters most: delivering solid, tested strategies for healing and growth.

His book is a carefully researched guide born from both lived experience and dedicated study. It isn’t about him and his story, but about providing readers with tools and insights that actually work in the real world. Jackie’s first degree was in psychology, and he studied CPTSD, trauma, abuse, and resilience from specialist institutions and experts located in different parts of the world. He worked as both a paid professional and a volunteer in mental health services, where he witnessed firsthand how different approaches affect real people working to rebuild their lives. He poured this knowledge into creating this comprehensive guide that combines proven strategies with hard-earned wisdom.

Jackie passionately believes that everyone who has lived through trauma deserves a bright, bold, and beautiful future. His book is a compassionate, yet practical roadmap for that transformation, offering hope backed by solid strategies for healing.
