Radical Self-Care

What do conflict, PTSD, addiction, heartbreak, anxiety, anger, and parental dysfunction have in common? They all persist because of emotions that became trapped in the body from difficult experiences. Building on groundbreaking titles like My Grandmother’s Hands, Complex PTSD, and The Body Keeps the Score, Sage Liskey reimagines how we think about life’s struggles, making healing easier and more accessible for marginalized and privileged communities alike. Written through a social-justice lens, Radical Self-Care offers a compassionate, science-backed roadmap for healing. Practical techniques to overcome big and small struggles are shared from over seventy books, hundreds of research articles, and the author’s personal experiences. Used by therapists and individuals, this guide shares easy to follow directions to navigate anxiety, grief, and heartbreak, recover from addiction, address family dysfunction, heal PTSD and complex PTSD, form new habits, prevent burnout, quiet the inner critic and build self-worth, calm anger, resolve conflicts and assert boundaries, build healthy relationships, and create a more equitable society.
