If you’ve ever felt lost in the language around trauma — or wondered whether your suffering needs a clinical diagnosis or simply a clear plan — I wrote How Deep Is the Wound? for that moment.

This practical guide teaches a simple investigative method you can use to tell emotional wounds from trauma — and then take the right next steps. It’s grounded in neuroscience, but written for people who want straightforward tools, not jargon.

    Kirkus Reviews

    A reassuring guide to healing our traumatic fixations, full of insight and useful advice. Contreras conveys all of this in lucid prose infused with down-to-earth metaphors.
    Readers will find here a straightforward and hopeful approach to psychological healing.

    Using language that average readers can understand, Contreras breaks down a field that is often over complicated or over simplified, democratizing the healing process. She lets readers know that our pain is real, and while not all emotional pain is trauma, they all need to be responded to, albeit in different ways.

    Easy to read, user-friendly, and readily implementable. As a growth addict, I did all of the exercises as I read the book, using them as opportunities to strengthen my own mental health. As a therapist I started using some of the tools Antonieta introduces here immediately upon learning them, employing others to tweak skills I already have.
