How do we respond when life feels unbearable? How might we understand our own and others’ complex responses when life feels too much? Based on real-life experience, and written in straightforward language for a general audience, this new book takes us on a 20-point tour of trauma on both body and mind.
Why 20? You’ve probably heard of the ‘fight or flight’ response to being overwhelmed or in danger. What you might not know are the numerous and sometimes complex ways that trauma shows up in our bodies and minds – from dissociation and anger to brain hijacking and trust issues. Drawing on the latest brain- and body-based research, I use stories, poetry and reflective exercises to provide the guidance and tools to move through trauma towards growth and resilience.
