About “Any Body Can Heal”

By her mid-thirties, Sara Davidson had fled a tsunami, fought off a knife-wielding thief and survived a horrific sexual assault by two masked gunmen who burst through her bedroom door in the middle of the night. As she was struggling to confront her own trauma, she was also helping her clients navigate theirs. At one point, she thought she had recovered. However, it was only after delving into the neuroscientific literature on trauma and discovering how her brain had protected her in her darkest hour that she found her way to true healing.

Thoughtful and brutally honest, Davidson’s memoir draws on her personal experience, professional training and the insights she gained through her investigations to paint a moving portrait of one woman’s winding path to self-acceptance, healing and reclaiming a joyful life.

“In Any Body Can Heal, Sara delivers a deeply moving and courageous account of her personal journey through trauma and toward healing. It stands out not only for its honesty but for the hope it conveys to readers navigating their own struggles. What makes Any Body Can Heal compelling is Sara shows healing is not linear, but an ongoing process. One of the most powerful aspects of this book is the message of hope and survival. Sara does not suggest that trauma can simply be “overcome” or forgotten, but rather that healing is possible through compassion, self-care, and perseverance. Her journey of rebuilding her life piece by piece serves as an inspiring testament to the human spirit’s capacity for resilience. A fitting name for the book. It is an essential read for trauma survivors, their loved ones, and anyone seeking to better understand the long-term effects of trauma on the mind, body and soul and finding the path to recovery.”
