About this audiobook
Discover the latest research and theory on trauma in this illuminating audio collection
Maybe it’s the car accident that happened last week. Or it could be that moment of terror from when you were five years old. In either case, the trauma still lives in your body—and it needs to be resolved.
Trauma is one of the most debilitating and misunderstood psychological conditions. Fortunately, it is also one of the most widely studied. In the last 20 years, immense strides have been made in treating and comprehending the mechanics of trauma. From neuroscience to psychology to traditional healing, researchers have devoted their careers to understanding the consequences of traumatic experiences. The Healing Trauma Summit: Volume 1 gathers five of the most prominent experts in the field to share resources, insights, and the latest theories on treatment.
This volume of audio interviews and presentations includes:
• Peter Levine, PhD, explains why trauma so profoundly affects the physical body and how his Somatic Experiencing® treatment modality addresses this
• Judith Blackstone, PhD, presents the Realization Process therapeutic model, a technique for helping trauma sufferers establish a foundation of fundamental consciousness
• Zainab Salbi speaks on the necessity of self-examination and speaking out to begin healing trauma
• Dawson Church, PhD, comments on using the Emotional Freedom Technique to treat intrusive thoughts and memories
• Elizabeth Rosner discusses how war, genocide, and other historical traumas affect not only their victims, but society as a whole
Even though the effects of trauma can be devastating, healing is more than possible. With The Healing Trauma Summit, you can discover for yourself that hope is within your grasp.
