About this listen

The Invisible Lion is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of how our human experience is shaped by our nervous system's response to trauma, and how we can tame our nervous system and heal our trauma to improve our happiness, health, and relationships.

Drawing from his own experiences of childhood trauma, breakdown and recovery, the author – psychotherapist and founder of Khiron Clinics, a world-leading residential trauma clinic – introduces a powerful analogy to help his clients understand the complex nature of trauma and its effects on our lives.

He paints a picture of someone running through life in a state of fear, anxiety and depression, feeling powerless to stop their apparently irrational reactions to everyday situations and people, appearing "crazy" to themselves and those around them – until the invisible lion that's been chasing them is finally seen. At that moment, everything begins to make sense.

The Invisible Lion offers readers a new lens through which to view their own struggles while also demystifying mental health challenges. It provides tools and understanding to help people identify and address their own invisible lions, and heal from their trauma, fostering a more compassionate and supportive world.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
