Summary: Must Read Material!!
Comment: I stumbled onto this book researching PTSD. My husband and I have been to a dozen doctors (literally) who clearly do not know the information in this book; information that I have watched manifest itself beneficially and adversely as explained herein. Modern psychology has gotten lazy in its treatments of the very treatable mental illnesses, and critically needed intervention is shunned as unsubstantiated because the truth behind knowledge,education and an educated support system threatens their "expertise." This book should 'light you on fire' to aggressively pursue intelligent, supportive, proactive physicians and, need be, therapists.

Summary: You don't know how good this book is
Comment: It's *very* good because it's so physiological and common-sensical. As a survivor of nine years of direct and indirect abuse, I say, no book I've read on post-traumatic stress describes it so accurately. Although the symptoms are anxiety-related, it is really a memory problem, not of "repressed" memory (there's no such thing), but of intense psycho/physiological reactions triggered by the feeling that the trauma never ended. Post-traumatic stress means the trauma isn't yet a memory - it's still feels like here and now, instead of there and then. Undoing the trauma means disarming the triggers, so that it becomes no more than a bad memory.

Summary: Trauma and body symptoms
Comment: I have read many books on post-traumatic stress disorder, but I still found new and extremely helpful information in this book. This is one of the best books on post-traumatic stress, and body symptoms. I am a survivor of multiple forms of repeated trauma. In addition to three incidents of injury to my neck and knees I also store considerable amounts of pain throughout my body, related to past trauma. This book has specific and in depth information about body pain, disorders, and involuntary body movement caused by trauma. I also recommend EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), Body work (such as massage), and The Feldenkrais Method (a subtle movement form which re-trains the body and helps to move trauma out of your body). If you are a practitioner looking for a scientific perspective on the effects of car accident trauma compounded with childhood sexual abuse I recommend "The Body Bears the Burden: Trauma, Dissociation, and Disease", but as a survivor I did not find that book to be very helpful.
