About Dr. Sarah Woodhouse Dr Sarah Woodhouse is a trauma specialist, research psychologist, author, coach and creator of The Freedom ProcessTM - a transformative program designed to help people break free from childhood trauma and reconnect to their power and potential. She has just moved permanently back to the UK, after three years working and living in Australia with her husband and three young children. Before moving to Australia, Sarah spent a decade researching how different ways of thinking and interacting with other people can prolong trauma symptoms. Her research was funded by the UK’s Medical Research Council. In her current work, Sarah sees individual clients, helping them understand how their own childhood trauma is still affecting their life today, and supporting them to work through the eight steps of The Freedom ProcessTM. She also continues to research trauma for her next book.
