About the product Psychological trauma interferes with our ability to trust our inner feelings, and this mistrust makes us misperceive a threat where it does not exist. It affects our minds and emotions, our ability to experience joy and closeness, and even our physiology and immune system. Moreover, the development of neuroscience and research have been able to explain to us the fact that children and even grandchildren of people who survived the extermination camps suffer from PTSD, although in fact they live in safety. Their hormonal system releases increased amounts of cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. There is good news, too. The consequences of trauma can be significantly reduced and even completely overcome. Bessel van der Kolk’s research is based on 30 years of experience working with trauma survivors. The author proposes different ways of treating it, including neurobiological tools, as well as sports and yoga — that is, everything that allows you to restore the neuroplasticity of the brain.

And what do we know about psychological? After all, no matter how trite it may sound, often moral trauma leaves a bigger imprint on our life than a wound on the body. A cut will quickly heal, a fracture will heal, but how will psychological trauma manifest itself at a conscious age, how can it interfere with normal life, and what can be done about it? Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s most renowned trauma specialists, has spent over 30 years studying PTSD. Bringing together all of his trauma research, experiences and patient stories, in this book he explains how trauma literally changes the body and brain, depriving survivors of normal lives, close relationships, and self-control. But there is good news — the author will tell you how we can help ourselves and our loved ones in this situation. By exploring a variety of healing options, from meditation, yoga and sports to theater classes, Dr. Bessel suggests new ways to heal by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity.
