Description
'I can say with certainty that this man saved my life. He made life worth living. But most importantly, he empowered me to find and reclaim myself again' Lady Gaga
Do the work to heal yourself and find a path through trauma.
Trauma is everywhere and so many of us are silently affected by it. Stressful, challenging and frightening events can happen to anyone, at any age, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious and exhausted. Left unchecked, difficult experiences can have a lasting psychological effect on our wellbeing.
In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, leading psychiatrist Dr Paul Conti sets out a unique set of tools anyone can access to help recognise the signs of trauma, heal from past hurt and find the road to recovery.
Drawing on the most recent scientific research, Dr Conti breaks down the topic into clear sections, looking at why trauma happens, how it manifests in the body and what we can do to move past it. In the book, you'll discover the three different types of trauma you might face, as well as practical exercises and solutions for getting to the root of the problem.
This is an important, life-affirming book, one that invites you to empower yourself against trauma, own your life experiences and learn to thrive, not just survive, in the wake of life's difficulties.

The purpose of this book in the introduction is to 'sound the alarm' on trauma and the serious impact it has on us as individuals and society as a whole.
I would say that the book definitely addresses this and fulfills its aims.
The book is clearly structured and tackles the causes of different types of trauma, how this can impact us and is very helpful in giving practical tips and advice on how to support ourselves and others from our trauma.
It was a very relatable book, filled with many anecdotes from the author's life and experience and that of some of his patients in a range of situations. What I really liked was the opportunities after the stories for the reader to pause and reflect on a similar situation they may have encountered and how that has impacted them. This felt like a dialogue between the reader and the author. Although trauma is s difficult topic to discuss, it is considered in a considerate way which did not make me feel uneasy or upset whilst reading.
As a society, we are becoming more open to talking about our mental health and trauma, something which wasn't readily available even when I was at school. This book contains fantastic support for educators, that can be diluted down to share with young people to support their well-being and reflect on how important it is to seek help and not suffer alone in silence. Highly recommend for everyone, either to support yourself and others.

A very richly informative book that beautiful puts forward the anatomy of trauma and how our life is affected by it and what can be done to be much wider about it. Enjoyed reading the book in two days and I'm glad for the information I could learn.

A very wise insight into trauma, it taught me a lot. I would recommend the book highly. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

This is a great book if you are looking for a straightforward basic understanding of the impact of trauma. It is written in a very accessible way and contains lots of helpful personal stories to illustrate theory. I am sure it will help a lot of people make sense of their own experiences and those of others who have experienced some type of trauma.
I would have liked significantly more depth on what is a very complex issue but appreciate this may have made the text less accessible to a wider audience.
I am grateful to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
