Description
This groundbreaking exploration of trauma examines how overwhelming experiences can reshape the brain, body, emotions, and sense of self long after the danger has passed. Drawing on decades of clinical research and patient stories, it explains why trauma may appear through anxiety, dissociation, chronic pain, addiction, and difficulties with relationships or trust. The book also surveys approaches that can support healing, including psychotherapy, mindfulness, movement, and other body-centered practices. Insightful and compassionate, it connects neuroscience with lived experience while offering a deeper understanding of resilience and recovery.
