Geralyn Ritter was thrown from the train with such force that she sustained catastrophic injuries to her chest, her abdomen, and her pelvis. Found unconscious, unable to breathe, and suffering massive blood loss, she was not expected to survive.

Da Eva som 21-årig bliver udsat for en overvældende begivenhed, er det så svært for hende at acceptere, at hun fortrænger det. Men som årene går, bliver det sværere og sværere for hende at føle sig tilpas i sin egen krop. Da hun en dag læser, at traumer påvirker følelsen af bevægelsesfrihed, slår det hende, at hendes krop måske er traumatiseret som følge af hændelsen for over et årti siden. Det bliver starten på en lang rejse ind i en verden, hun aldrig før har beskæftiget sig med, nemlig kroppens anatomi og hjernens kemiske processer.

It took me 37,287 words to describe the impact sexual trauma in the military has had on my life. It has taken me over 30 years to come to terms with my experience where I can now write about it and speak about it. I want to educate people about rape in the military. Perhaps I will be able to help others by sharing my experience. To keep silent just perpetuates the violence and reinforces the culture of rape that has been accepted in the military. My insight in this book will be helpful to both practitioners helping veterans and to other veterans suffering from sexual trauma as well.

Franz Ruppert konzentriert sich in diesem Buch auf einen Aspekt, der in den Trauma-Debatten oft zu kurz kommt: Es ist die Täter-Opfer-Dynamik, die zu einer Endlosschleife der seelischen Verletzungen führt. Eltern, die als Kinder nicht gewollt und nicht vor Gewalt geschützt wurden, werden meist selbst zu Tätern an ihren eigenen Kindern und reinszenieren unbewusst ihre eigenen Erlebnisse. Ganze Gesellschaften können auf diese Weise trauma-assoziiert sein und offen oder verdeckt Gewalt ausüben.

This audiobook describes, in a clear and accessible way, the mechanisms that are at play when someone has experienced trauma at a young age.

The pathway is gentle—recognizing that very young parts are at play within, regardless of actual age.

As first responders and military, we are the heroes for everyone else. We are first on the scene to emergencies at home and abroad. So what then do we do when we are drowning and searching for breath? What do we do when we can't escape the shadow that follows us in the sun and the darkness? What do we do when our world is spinning out of control and our world is falling apart? I know this world. I lived under the rough seas and the shadow of PTS(D) for 10 years. As a Navy Rescue Swimmer with service in the special operations community and as a firefighter, I embraced the suck!

From a young age, Ali Rothrock fell head over heels in love with firefighting. But when she entered the fire service, she was ostracized by those who weren't willing to accept a girl into their ranks.

In Reggie Ford's bold reassessment of the Black experience in America, he demonstrates that a new understanding of PTSD is required. PTSD, or Perseverance Through Severe Dysfunction, as Ford defines it, underlines the darkness of mental illnesses and behaviors that impact young Black men and have plagued Black Americans for generations. But his reassessment is not doom and gloom. Instead, Ford implores that we turn pain into peace. Ford uses his own traumatic experiences to inform his call to action.

Building on this knowledge, this cutting-edge guide offers simple skills for connecting and calming your body, balancing your emotions, and rewiring old patterns of reactivity for better self-regulation.

This book will take you on that journey to discovering yourself and discovering the beauty that lies within you and within others.
