Story
Traumatic experiences leave a “living legacy” of effects that often persist for years and decades after the events are over. Historically, it has always been assumed that retelling the story of what happened would resolve these effects. However, survivors report a different experience: Telling and re-telling the story of what happened to them often reactivates their trauma responses, overwhelming them rather than resolving the trauma.

Story
Imagine, if you will, a disease - one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice; one that transfers easily between parent and child; one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis. In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper, richer, and more urgent view of trauma.

Story
Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood.

Informative and Well Written
Interesting idea to pair her personal story of grief with Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. It was beautifully written but I feel I now need to read To the Lighthouse to get the most out of this work. Exquisite use of language.

Great book, great technique
I’ve been using expressive writing (EW) to help manage and reduce chronic pain. I wanted to learn a bit more about the technique. This book explains the research findings on the successes and limitations of EW in an accessible way. I recommend reading this book and definitely recommend giving it a go!
