On transforming traumatic stress

Even on the periphery of someone else’s journey – you can get sucked in to traumatic stress, however much you try to keep calm. Someone sent me a link today to a book about recovering from traumatic stress. Time, talking, when you are ready and just being outside doing ordinary things seems to work for me.

‘Bessel van der Kolk now based in Boston USA has written – ‘The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma‘. Bessel van der Kolk gives us another perspective on traumatic stress and its effect on the brain. Plus, he’ll show you how innovative treatments like neuro feedback, mindfulness techniques, yoga, and other approaches can help people rewire their brain after a traumatic experience. He is probably the world’s leading trauma expert with over 30 years of experience working with trauma survivors, and through his research, helps trauma patients get their lives back’ – Ruth M.
