Educated is an autobiographical work by the renowned American historian and gifted writer Tara Westover. With her profound academic background from a Ph.D. in History at Cambridge University, she delicately sketches a grand journey of her spiritual growth through an autobiographical style. This book not only reveals the author’s difficult childhood in her original family but also profoundly depicts how she bravely overcame the influence of traumatic memories from her family, rebuilt herself, and ultimately achieved self-redemption in terms of culture, education, and spirit. This article aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the individual trauma and its social and economic roots, as well as family reasons that the protagonist Tara endured during her growth process, based on a multi-dimensional framework of historical trauma theory, combined with social culture analysis and individual psychological research. It also systematically explores the internal mechanism and external influencing factors of Tara’s trauma healing, revealing the specific path for her to overcome trauma symptoms and achieve spiritual freedom.
