Author(s) : Sarah Coleman

Reviews and Endorsements

As someone who lived and ran interventions in at-risk communities for twelve years, I’m excited to say that this book is both surprisingly practical and relevant. I have no doubt that you will be able to easily apply the contents, chapter by chapter, both in your own life and in the lives of those entrusted to you – it’s that good!
Schalk Holloway, author of Die Groot Storie

Sarah Coleman has written a book that is as heartbreaking as it is essential. As a doctor and an advocate for healing trauma in South Africa, I have witnessed first hand the deep wounds that violence and instability inflict on individuals and communities. Sarah brings not only professional expertise but also immense compassion to this work. She illuminates the resilience of the human spirit while offering practical tools for support and healing. This book is a gift – one that holds both truth and hope in equal measure.

Out of the Darkness by Sarah Coleman is a vital resource for therapists, counsellors, and facilitators working with trauma-affected groups. Insightful and compassionate, it explores resilience in challenging environments, offering practical guidance, reflective questions, and real-life vignettes. Coleman highlights the power of community in healing, making this an essential read for professionals. A moving testament to the human spirit, this book is both an inspiring and practical tool for those supporting others through trauma, especially those still living in traumatic environments.
