Summary:
"A neuroscientist explores how trauma impacts the brain and how we can learn to heal ourselves. Everyone experiences trauma. Whether it's a specific harrowing event or a series of stressful moments that accumulate over time, trauma can echo and etch itself into our brain as we reflect on what happened again and again throughout our lives. In the book, neuroscientist Dr. Tracey Shors examines trauma with a focus on its pervasive nature -- how it can happen at any time, through big or small events, and how it often reappears in the form of ruminations. Her research reveals that when we ruminate on trauma, our brains amplify memories, potentially making it that much more difficult to forget. Dr. Shors also explores the neuroscience behind why women in particular are more vulnerable to stress and traumatic events, setting them up to be three times more likely than men to experience stress-related conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Dr. Shors illuminates the effective tools that can reduce the repetitive thoughts that reinforce our everyday trauma, including cognitive-based therapies and trauma-informed care such as well as her own groundbreaking program, a combination of mental and physical training called "MAP Train my brain". By understanding how our brains respond to everyday traumas and by training our brains to recognize the thoughts and memories they generate, we are better equipped to leave our traumatic pasts behind and live in a brighter present."--Jacket.
