Wound Theory – Book Proposal Preview
How Emotional Trauma Shapes Identity, Politics, and Power
This post contains the full publishing proposal for Wound Theory™ — a groundbreaking, trauma-informed framework that connects unresolved emotional wounds to adult political identity and behavior.
Developed by Eric Conklin, Wound Theory draws on attachment science, nervous system regulation, and trauma psychology to explain how shame, fear, and emotional repression unconsciously shape the political landscape — and how healing those wounds can transform not just individuals, but entire cultures.
Whether you’re an agent, editor, journalist, or thought leader, this proposal outlines:
The core vision and intellectual foundation
Chapter-by-chapter structure
Research base and market fit
Target audience and platform reach
Marketing and endorsement strategy
If you believe our political chaos is rooted in something deeper than disagreement — and want to explore the emotional architecture behind it — this book is for you.
