Many of us know firsthand what psychological trauma is. It is usually caused by major shocks (accidents and disasters, natural catastrophes, violence, participation in military actions in any capacity, loss of loved ones, severe illnesses, bullying and harassment, betrayal), but...
even prolonged or excessive stress can lead to trauma. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a condition where past trauma continuously affects your life and complicates it. Any reminder of a stressful situation can serve as a trigger and cause, for example, a panic attack.
In her book, Megan Salar, a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and PTSD, shares the method of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This evidence-based approach has established itself in the psychotherapeutic community as an effective solution for the consequences of trauma.
Through specific practices, you will help your brain process traumatic memories and reduce reactions to triggers. EMDR is designed to initiate the natural healing process.
The book is structured as a workbook so that the reader can perform practical exercises immediately after studying the theory. And while no guide can replace a visit to a qualified psychotherapist, this book can be your first step on the path to recovery - through understanding what trauma is, how to work with it, how to alleviate its effects, and even to heal from it.
