The set includes 2 books: «The Body Remembers Everything: What Role Psychological Trauma Plays in a Person's Life and What Techniques Help Overcome It» and «It's All Psychosomatics! How Symptoms Move from the Head to the Body and What to Do to Heal».
We have all faced physical injuries and have an understanding of them. But what do we know about psychological ones? As banal as it may sound, often, moral trauma leaves a greater imprint on our lives than a wound on the body. A cut quickly heals, a fracture will mend, but how will psychological trauma manifest in adulthood, how can it hinder normal life, and what can be done about it?
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world's most famous trauma specialists, has spent over 30 years studying post-traumatic stress disorder. Combining all research in the field of trauma, his experience, and patient stories, in this book he explains how trauma literally changes the body and brain, depriving survivors of normal life, close relationships, and self-control. But there is good news — the author will discuss how we can help ourselves and our loved ones in this situation. By exploring various healing options: from meditation, yoga, and sports to acting classes — Dr. Bessel offers new pathways to recovery by activating the brain's natural neuroplasticity. Thus, the doctor gives hope for recovery and a fulfilling life to those who have faced trauma.
