Trauma is a fact of life. A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this New York Times bestseller. Whether we are sheltered, wealthy, and given every opportunity in life - or if we''re impoverished, socially outcast, and have been exposed to upsetting realities of life - we all experience trauma. Trauma, whether we are aware of its effects on us or not, has a nasty way of debilitating our lives and harming our efforts to live and love healthily. Trauma is one of the fundamental contributing factors in what makes us who we are and how we react to the world around us. By working through it, we can heal the aspects of ourselves that cause both us and those around us pain. This workbook contains exercises, presents ideas, and poses transformative questions as a means to help readers work through trauma. The workbook is based on the #1 New York Times Bestseller - The Body Keeps The Score; Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma - written by Bessel van der Kolk.
