Kathrin Stauffer, PhD, is a Body and Integrative Psychotherapist who was born and educated in Switzerland.

She has taught Anatomy and Physiology at various institutions including the London School of Biodynamic Psychotherapy, and counselling at Hills Road.

Her new book See What You Made Me Do is a deep dive into the abuse so many women and children experience – abuse that is often reinforced by the justice system they trust to protect them.
