Description
Redefining Trauma: Understanding and Coping with a Cortisoaked Brain
This accessible guide explores how our brains react to stress, offering a fresh perspective on what we mean by "trauma". By examining the impact of language on our understanding of distress, it highlights the importance of expanding awareness of excess stress and its effects on relationships and daily life.
Split into three parts, the book introduces new concepts such as "cortisprinkled", "cortisaturated" and "cortisoaked" states of brain, providing a rationale for why these conditions occur. It also offers practical coping skills and strategies to deal with various stress responses, including advice on reconnecting with sexuality and phrasing difficult questions.
