Description
Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; 1 in 5 Americans has been molested; 1 in 4 grew up with alcoholics; 1 in 3 couples have engaged in physical violence. The author has spent over 30 years working with survivors. This book offers recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers' capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. New treatments are discussed, from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, art and yoga, that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity. The author explains how the tremendous power of our relationships both hurt and heal, and offers new hope for reclaiming lives. [From publisher's description]
