Carolyn Bell, LMHC [https://carolynbellroarofthesoul.com/], trauma specialist, educator, and author of Unshaken: The Roar of the Soul and the Path to Empowerment [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTXSQT2N], has received formal recognition from the Best-Selling Authors Association, marking a new milestone in the book's post-launch trajectory. The Association has acknowledged Bell as a recognized member and presented her with awards celebrating both her achievement as a #1 international bestselling author and Unshaken 's status as a #1 international bestselling book.

The recognition follows the book's rapid ascent in November 2025, when Unshaken reached the top of Amazon bestseller charts across the United States, Canada, and Australia, appearing on more than 15 lists in Self-Help and Psychology categories within 24 hours of launch . While early rankings reflected strong reader demand, the acknowledgment from the Best-Selling Authors Association represents an institutional validation of that success, situating Bell's work within a broader community of authors whose books have demonstrated sustained international impact.

In addition to membership recognition, Bell received two commemorative awards from the Association: one honoring her achievement as a #1 international bestselling author, and a piano wood plaque certifying Unshaken as a #1 international bestselling book. Together, the honors underscore both the personal authorship milestone and the book's cross-market resonance with readers seeking credible, trauma-informed paths to healing.

"This recognition is deeply meaningful because it reflects not just numbers, but connection," Bell said. " Unshaken was written for people navigating the aftermath of trauma who want something grounded, compassionate, and real. To see that message travel internationally-and to have it acknowledged in this way-is profoundly humbling."

Unshaken occupies a distinctive space in the self-help and psychology landscape, blending memoir, clinical insight, and spiritual inquiry. Rather than presenting trauma responses as pathology, Bell reframes patterns such as hypervigilance, dissociation, and shame as adaptive strategies-signals from the nervous system that can be understood and gently reworked. The book integrates evidence-based modalities including EMDR, DBT, Mindfulness-CBT, somatic therapies, and hypnotherapy, alongside contemplative practices such as breathwork, meditation, and yoga.

A defining element of the work is its attention to spirituality without abstraction. Bell introduces readers to the concept of "spiritual emergence," describing the destabilizing yet potentially clarifying awakening that can follow trauma. Throughout the book, clinical rigor is paired with accessible metaphor and reflective practice, inviting readers to rebuild agency while also reconnecting with meaning and purpose. The closing chapters expand the conversation beyond individual recovery, proposing trauma-informed spirituality as a framework capable of influencing leadership, families, and communities.

Bell's authority in this space is rooted in decades of interdisciplinary experience. A Holistic Licensed Mental Health Counselor, she specializes in trauma and addictions and serves as a Senior Instructor in the School of Psychological Studies with Cambridge College at Bay Path University. She is the founder of Carolyn Bell Psychotherapy, LLC, where she provides integrative, trauma-focused care, and leads Roar of the Soul Retreats dedicated to holistic healing and personal transformation. Earlier roles in specialty healthcare leadership, strategic consulting, and historical restoration inform her systems-level perspective on resilience and recovery.

Her academic background includes an M.Ed. in Counseling Psychology and a B.S. in Psychology, along with diplomas in Clinical, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Hypnotherapy. Bell is a member of the American Counseling Association and has been recognized in Marquis Who's Who for professional achievement-credentials that lend weight to a book designed to bridge science and soul without diluting either.

The Best-Selling Authors Association recognition adds a formal capstone to Unshaken 's launch-year momentum, reinforcing its standing as a globally relevant contribution to conversations about trauma, healing, and post-traumatic growth. As the book continues to reach new readers, the acknowledgment affirms what early audiences signaled from the start: that there is strong demand for resources that honor both evidence-based practice and the deeper human search for meaning.
