| Book Description | “Clear, brilliant, hard to put down, and packed with compelling case studies... This book represents some of the most important advances in mental health in the past thirty years.” - Norman Doidge, author of The Brain Changes Itself Introduction Bessel van der Kolk, a pioneering researcher and one of the world’s leading experts on traumatic stress, offers a bold new model for healing from trauma. Trauma is a fact of life. Studies have shown that at least one in five people are molested, one in four grow up with addicts, and one in three spouses engage in physical violence. These circumstances inevitably leave scars on the mind and emotions, as well as the body. Unfortunately, trauma sufferers often take their stress out on their partners and children. Dr. Van der Kolk has spent more than three decades working with trauma survivors, and with this book he has transformed our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how stress literally rewires the brain—particularly the areas dedicated to pleasure, interaction, self-control, and confidence—and demonstrating the impact of innovative therapies, including neurofeedback, meditation, prayer, play, yoga, and more, as well as offering proven and successful alternatives to drugs and talk therapy, and a way to recover and reclaim your life. |
