This publication is designed as a resource for mental health professionals, advocates, and survivors, providing a scholarly roadmap for identifying manipulative patterns and rebuilding the self after long-term emotional distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Paone, &#8220;Unbroken&#8221; moves beyond simple identification of toxic behaviors, and offers a research-informed approach to trauma recovery that emphasizes nervous-system regulation, the re-establishment of boundaries, and the importance of reclaiming personal identity. Paone\u2019s work serves as both a contribution to the literature on interpersonal trauma and a practical guide for those navigating its aftermath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tina Paone, Ph.D., professor of counseling in the Department of Educational Counseling &amp; Leadership, has recently published &#8220;Unbroken: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Reclaiming Me&#8221; a work that bridges clinical practice with narrative inquiry to explore the process of recovering from complex trauma.
