Discover how trauma literally rewrites our biology and why we can't just 'get over it'—plus revolutionary healing methods that go beyond traditional talk therapy.

Miglior citazione da The Body Keeps the Score: Trauma's Hidden Biology

Trauma is not a character flaw or weakness; it is our body's attempt to protect us that sometimes gets stuck in overdrive. The same way trauma can rewire our neural pathways, the brain's neuroplasticity means healing can rewire them back.
