Tom Glaser presents The House That Resilience Built

The House That Resilience Built is both a deeply personal story and a compassionate guide for anyone seeking to understand the effects of trauma—and how, with the help of an attuned therapist, resilience can unfold in its aftermath.

From growing up in a seemingly picture-perfect neighborhood, to discovering the liberating force of psychotherapy, this book explores what resilience is and how to obtain it. Readers encounter author Tom Glaser’s real-life trauma therapy stories, practical strategies for recovering from trauma, and an empowering framework called the Seven Building Blocks of Trauma Resilience—essential tools for anyone navigating their own healing. Each Building Block is illustrated with an insightful case study that demonstrates how survivors reclaim and restore their resilience.

Tom Glaser is a master’s-level licensed psychologist with 40 years of experience. His own journey from childhood trauma toward resilience inspired him to specialize in working with trauma survivor clients. Tom’s first book, Full Heart Living: Conversations with the Happiest People I Know, was an Amazon bestseller that gave rise to a live performance piece and documentary.
