Who is Bill O'Hanlon
and why is he qualified in the area of
trauma?
Who am I and why am I qualified to tell
you about getting over trauma?
Well, I have been a psychotherapist for 30+ years, have
written several books for major publishers (W.W. Norton,
John Wiley and Sons, Penguin Perigee) on resolving and
treating trauma, both for psychotherapists and for the
general public. (Check out my website to learn more about
my work in general: http://www.billohanlon.com

and http://www.thewebwhisperers.com).
I have taught workshops on trauma for the past 25 years all
over the world.
I was sexually molested when I was a child and developed an
interest in treating trauma respectfully and in finding
methods that did not involve years of therapy, dredging up
the past unnecessarily and that did not involve painfully
reliving or re-experiencing the pain of the original
trauma.
This initially put me at odds with most of the field of
psychotherapy and psychiatry, but eventually more and more
of them came around to this approach, until now it is part
of the mainstream.
I decided to create this site to let people who have
experienced traumas to know there are ways to move on and
heal and to do that fairly quickly.
