A widow dares not utter her husband’s name. A prisoner of war buries the memories of his ordeal. A child hostage is rendered mute. What happens when trauma goes unspoken? The pioneering psychiatrist and psychotherapist Dr Gwen Adshead invites us to witness her work with patients struggling in the wake of a range of distressing and painful life events. What is the quality of their survival? Who and how do they want to be now? With her help, these courageous people step out of the darkness of shame and fear to discover new possibilities, and find that sometimes the hardest words to say out loud are the very ones to set us free.
