Trauma survivors are mighty soul warriors in disguise.
I spent decades helping people recover from traumatic childhood events and adult crises, constantly amazed and humbled by their strength and courage. Yet so often they did not know it; so wounded by challenging experiences, they thought too little of themselves, forgetting their true, spiritual nature. I wanted to find ways to lift them above the psychology of trauma survivor into the power and freedom of their greater Self.

My name is James Hands, and I am the author of From Trauma Survivor to Soul Warrior
In this book, I share case studies, personal stories and clear roadmaps of our journey from soul state into human challenges, through the healing process and back home as more than we were before. Filled with examples and exercises, the book is also a practical guide to understanding trauma, remembering our soul Self and turning suffering into deep qualities and loving service.
You will discover how even the worst experiences of abuse and neglect make sense on our spiritual level. You will come to understand why terrible things would be planned to occur, not as punishment or random fate, but for our evolution as brave beings of Love. You will learn practical ways to climb through the levels of your healing journey, to turn your painful history into rich resources you can then share with others.
The book is written in two parts:
Part 1
Involution begins in soul state, who we are before you venture into incarnation and the spiritual reasons why we might choose traumatic challenges. Once on the ground, we consider the causes and nature of traumatic stress, collect some roadmaps to make sense of the place and pain we find ourselves in, and learn my SAFE model of healing principles. At the rock bottom of the warriors adventure, you are now prepared to heal your way home.
Part 2
Evolution supports your climb up the levels of healing: from the root system of raw, somatic experience, and bodymind modalities; through the trunk of your adult understanding, taking the best of psychology and hypnotherapy techniques; up into the branches of remembering your true Identity, learning ways to deepen your spiritual practice. We then venture beyond the canopy of our human existence, exploring powerful ways of exploring soul connection and completing the healing cycle. Finally, we celebrate the gifts you have earned through the ordeals of your human journey.
Hi, I’m James Hands, a registered psychologist and hypnotherapist with three decades of clinical experience. I am passionate about helping people to safely deal with their wounds, especially childhood trauma, turning challenges into growth, wisdom and service. My intention is always for clients to enjoy greater love, freedom and connection in their lives.
Using a broad range of holistic, effective techniques learned and developed over many years, I meet clients wherever they are on their healing journeys. I guide people through all stages of the process; from early sharing and opening of difficult issues, through mature psychological understanding, to deep remembering of their spiritual Selves.
There is a great need today for a bridge between traditional psychotherapy and soul-level awareness; my mission in one-on-one sessions with individuals and couples, group work, books and online courses is to encourage and inspire people to move beyond their human suffering into their full potential.
I’m a father to two wonderful adult children, and husband to spiritual artist Tia Rose. We live with our two dogs, the parrots, kangaroos and lots of trees, on a mountain in the Gold Coast Hinterland, Queensland, Australia.
