What is trauma? How does it change the way our brains work? And how can we overcome it? When something traumatic happens to us, we dissociate and our bodies shut down their normal processes. This unique comic explains the strange nature of trauma and how it confuses the brain and affects the body. With wonderful artwork, cat and mouse metaphors, essential scientific facts, and a healthy dose of wit, the narrator reveals how trauma resolution involves changing the body's physiology and describes techniques that can achieve this, including Trauma Releasing Exercises that allow the body to shake away tension, safely releasing deep muscular patterns of stress and trauma.

I love this series. submitted by lisa on July 20, 2020, 6:07pm I bought the one about pain and the one about forgiveness. They illustrations draw in the reader (or this one, anyway), inviting us to consider the brass-tacks notions. Trauma is the trickiest. The library also has the anxiety one.
