These chapters offer deep insights into how trauma shapes our sense of self, our ability to connect with others, and our physical well-being. Here's what you'll learn: 🔹 𝘓𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺, 𝘓𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧: Trauma survivors often feel unsafe in their own bodies, leading to dissociation and a disconnection from their physical sensations. This chapter highlights how chronic trauma disrupts sensory perception and self-awareness, making healing through reactivating the self-sensing system essential. 🔹 𝘎𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩: 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵: Attachment shapes how we connect with others. This chapter examines how early relationships—or their absence—impact emotional regulation and attunement. Through case studies, van der Kolk emphasizes the importance of secure connections in overcoming trauma. 🔹 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘕𝘦𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵: Exploring the long-term effects of abuse and neglect, this chapter delves into how trauma creates a dual reality—an ever-present past alongside a seemingly stable present.

This chapter addresses how early trauma alters brain development, perpetuating cycles of hyper-vigilance and emotional dys-regulation unless addressed through holistic healing. 💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: - Trauma is not just psychological; it deeply affects the body. - Healing requires reconnecting with the body and fostering safe relationships. - Understanding attachment and developmental trauma is crucial for recovery. 🎥 Join us as we unpack these transformative chapters filled with research, clinical insights, and real-life stories.
