With foreword by Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score

In Trauma and Memory, bestselling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Building on his 45 years of successful treatment of trauma and utilizing case studies from his own practice, Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps. While acknowledging that memory can be trusted, he argues that the only truly useful memories are those that might initially seem to be the least reliable: memories stored in the body and not necessarily accessible by our conscious mind.
While much work has been done in the field of trauma studies to address "explicit" traumatic memories in the brain (such as intrusive thoughts or flashbacks), much less attention has been paid to how the body itself stores "implicit" memory, and how much of what we think of as "memory" actually comes to us through our (often unconsciously accessed) felt sense. By learning how to better understand this complex interplay of past and present, brain and body, we can adjust our relationship to past trauma and move into a more balanced, relaxed state of being. Written for trauma sufferers as well as mental health care practitioners, Trauma and Memory is a groundbreaking look at how memory is constructed and how influential memories are on our present state of being.]]>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2192556https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2192556Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2192556980EBOOKBrain and Body in a Search for the Living Past: A Practical Guide for Understanding and Working with Traumatic Memoryenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781583949955/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7330802https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7330802Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7330802075BKTraining your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover From Traumaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735216594/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=Designed for psychotherapists and their clients, Peter Levine's latest best-seller continues his groundbreaking exploration of the central role of the body in processing—and healing—trauma.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity.

—from the foreword by Bessel van der Kolk
A pioneering researcher gives us a new understanding of stress and trauma, as well as the tools to heal and thrive
Stress is our internal response to an experience that our brain perceives as threatening or challenging. Trauma is our response to an experience in which we feel powerless or lacking agency. Until now, researchers have treated these conditions as different, but they actually lie along a continuum. Dr. Elizabeth Stanley explains the significance of this continuum, how it affects our resilience in the face of challenge, and why an event that's stressful for one person can be traumatizing for another.
This groundbreaking book examines the cultural norms that impede resilience in America, especially our collective tendency to disconnect stress from its potentially extreme consequences and override our need to recover. It explains the science of how to direct our attention to perform under stress and recover from trauma.
With training, we can access agency, even in extreme-stress environments. In fact, any maladaptive behavior or response conditioned through stress or trauma can, with intentionality and understanding, be reconditioned and healed. The key is to use strategies that access not just the thinking brain but also the survival brain.
By directing our attention in particular ways, we can widen the window within which our thinking brain and survival brain work together cooperatively. When we use awareness to regulate our biology this way, we can access our best, uniquely human qualities: our compassion, courage, curiosity, creativity, and connection with others. By building our resilience, we can train ourselves to make wise decisions and access choice—even during times of incredible stress, uncertainty, and change.
With stories from men and women Dr. Stanley has trained in settings as varied as military bases, healthcare facilities, and Capitol Hill, as well as her own striking experiences with stress and trauma, she gives readers hands-on strategies they can use themselves, whether they want to perform under pressure or heal from traumatic experience, while at the same time pointing our understanding in a new direction.]]>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C4560609https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C4560609Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4560609980EAUDIOBOOKTraining Your Brain and Body to Thrive During Stress and Recover from Traumaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593151839/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9717562https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9717562Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9717562075EBOOKBrain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Traumaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781101608302/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc= O trauma traz consigo um mundo invisível de consequências, diz-nos o Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, como pesadelos, insónias, acessos de fúria ou de pânico. O trauma fica gravado nas entranhas, agarra-se a cada fibra do corpo, molda o próprio cérebro.
Por causa dele, perde-se a capacidade de sentir prazer, de estabelecer relações, de confiar. Ou sequer de falar, como se a cada flashback do horror a vítima sofresse um AVC.
O Corpo Não Esquece é uma obra absolutamente superlativa sobre o trauma, as suas consequências e a sua cura. Escrita por um dos maiores especialistas mundiais na área, com um humanismo e compaixão tocantes, recorda a luta da medicina para decifrar o stress traumático; conta as histórias das pessoas que dele sofrem; revela os caminhos percorridos para a cura, desde os remédios tradicionais até aos mais recentes, como o neuroflashback.
Sugere alternativas que visam reeducar o corpo ativando a natural neuroplasticidade do cérebro, como o yoga, a meditação ou o teatro. Baseado em mais de 30 anos de trabalho clínico e de investigação científica, O Corpo Não Esquece mostra o poder extraordinário que o corpo tem para curar a mente.]]>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C6025724https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C6025724Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6025724980EBOOKporhttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9789892349312/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2056264https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C2056264Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2056264980EAUDIOBOOKBrain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Traumaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781469092362/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C4180701https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C4180701Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4180701075BKReclaiming your Bodyenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781556439698/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9682186https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9682186Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9682186075EAUDIOBOOKBrain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Traumaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593412718/MC.GIF&client=notsobplp&type=xw12&oclc=https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7064127https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7064127Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7064127075VIDEO_ONLINEundhttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7064101https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7064101Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMThttps://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7064101075VIDEO_ONLINEund
