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. This book also describes techniques that can achieve this,
including Trauma Releasing Exercises that allow the body to shake away
tension, safely releasing the deep muscular patterns of stress and
trauma.
