What It Takes to Heal

In this life-affirming framework, Prentis Hemphill shows how the recognition of our body’s sensations and habits, and the beliefs that inform them, are critical to lasting healing and change.

Hemphill demonstrates a future where healing is done in community, weaving together personal stories as a trauma survivor with clinical accounts and lessons from their time as a social movement architect.

The book emphasizes the importance of healing ourselves, connecting with others, and embodying our values to reshape our world toward justice.
