About this listen

For both clinicians and their clients, there is tremendous value in understanding the psychophysiology of trauma and knowing what to do about its manifestations.

This book illuminates that physiology, shining a bright light on the impact of trauma on the body and the phenomenon of somatic memory.

It is now thought that people who have been traumatized hold an implicit memory of traumatic events in their brains and bodies. That memory is often expressed in the symptomatology of post-traumatic stress disorder - nightmares, flashbacks, startle responses, and dissociative behaviors. In essence, the body of the traumatized individual refuses to be ignored.

While reducing the chasm between scientific theory and clinical practice and bridging the gap between talk therapy and body therapy, Rothschild presents principles and non-touch techniques for giving the body its due. With an eye to its relevance for clinicians, she consolidates current knowledge about the psychobiology of the stress response both in normally challenging situations and during extreme and prolonged trauma.

Really useful. I took a lot of notes. good use of examples to help solidify the theory. Not the most inviting narration but not the worst!
As with all books take what resonates with you leave behind what doesn't.

all in all 5/5

A comprehensive explanation of how we understand the brain to work (so far). Well written and explained in a way that most will understand. There is alot to take in and I could probably do with listening to it all again.

An excellent insight into mind & body traumatic events. Very well narrated too.

No wonder so many therapist have failed to understand my issues, so much makes sense now after listening 3 times in a row.

I shall return to listen and join the dots, to further my understanding and appreciation.

It hits the spot, as intended

As a victim of trauma, this book really helped me
to acknowledge and come to terms with the trauma of my past. It also made me less fearful of going into trauma therapy, and feel more in control of making positive change.

I really needed that
