This book explores how stigma can cause trauma, providing guidance on how marginalised people can develop resilience to manage and heal from traumatic stigma. Gordon Gates draws on his experience as a crisis counsellor, philosophical research, and his lived experience of stigma, trauma and autism.

This book presents ground-breaking ideas based on current research on how stigma can cause bodily felt trauma in stigmatised or marginalised people, particularly those on the autism spectrum. Gordon Gates draws on his academic research, professional knowledge as a counsellor, and lived experience with Asperger's syndrome to provide a unique framework for combating the psychological and emotional impact of stigma.

Explaining how to develop resilience and essential coping mechanisms to manage distress and improve mental health, this book casts new light on the significance of stigma in mental health, and marks a new way forward for anyone who has been made to feel like an "outsider".

Gordon Gates is a crisis counsellor based in Ontario, Canada. He was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome aged 44, and holds a MA in Philosophy and a Master of Social Work.
