Psychological trauma disrupts our ability to trust our inner senses, and this mistrust causes us to mistakenly perceive threats where none exist. Trauma affects our mind and emotional state, our ability to experience joy and intimacy, and even our physiology and immune system.
Furthermore, advances in neuroscience and research have explained why children and even grandchildren of survivors of extermination camps suffer from PTSD, despite living in virtual safety. Their hormonal systems secrete increased levels of cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine.
There is also good news. The effects of psychological trauma can be significantly reduced and even completely overcome. Bessel van der Kolk's research is based on 30 years of experience working with people who have experienced psychological trauma. The author suggests various treatment options, including neurobiological tools, as well as exercise and yoga—in other words, anything that helps restore the brain's neuroplasticity. This book will help us understand why we can simultaneously hurt and heal each other, and it gives us hope for a new life.
