Zibby Owens,
This book provides information to explain how the brain responds to trauma more in-depth。 It also shows the positive side of our life and how we can learn to reflect on positive things or put even the negative things in context, so we don't go down holes。 This doesn't mean we can never ruminate or think about bad things, but we can be more aware of what our brains are doing when we're having negative thoughts。The author obviously put a lot of research, time, and expertise into this book。 I learn This book provides information to explain how the brain responds to trauma more in-depth。 It also shows the positive side of our life and how we can learn to reflect on positive things or put even the negative things in context, so we don't go down holes。 This doesn't mean we can never ruminate or think about bad things, but we can be more aware of what our brains are doing when we're having negative thoughts。The author obviously put a lot of research, time, and expertise into this book。 I learned a lot from this book。 I've thought a lot, as many people have in today's world, about all the trauma we are experiencing and its effects。 I think this book will help so many people going through hard times and struggling with past and present trauma。 To listen to my interview with the author, go to my podcast at:https://zibbyowens。com/transcript/tra。。。 。。。more
Nicole,
I picked up this book to potentially help process some memories and lead to healing。 The first half of this book talks about trauma, it's impact on the brain, and how many people process these memories。 It's very data heavy and at times, I'm not sure if it was meant for me, a very non-sciency reader。 It was interesting to read but mostly dry material。Halfway in the author introduces a combination of meditation and exercise activities that help you remap your brain。 It's helpful but feels overly I picked up this book to potentially help process some memories and lead to healing。 The first half of this book talks about trauma, it's impact on the brain, and how many people process these memories。 It's very data heavy and at times, I'm not sure if it was meant for me, a very non-sciency reader。 It was interesting to read but mostly dry material。Halfway in the author introduces a combination of meditation and exercise activities that help you remap your brain。 It's helpful but feels overly simplistic。 It didn't speak to my need to understand the impact of past traumatic events and how it has influenced my life now and how I can heal。With that said, it's a fairly interesting book even if not fully satisfying。 。。。more
