North Atlantic Books The Tao of Trauma: A Practitioner's Guide for Integrating Five Element Theory and Trauma Treatment

This book is amazing! My thirst to know more about how the body stores trauma coupled with my love of the five elements makes this my go to resource

Hay alguna información útil pero estoy a la mitad del libro y solo ahora se da alguna información práctica. Esperaba que fuera más práctica. Pero voy a sacar algunos consejos, por lo menos.

I’ve always had unresolved mental and health issues that have mysteriously come and gone... among the most bothersome, digestive issues and an acute negative reaction to perfumes and cleaning supply smells. I randomly came across this book while studying trauma and I was curious what an eastern approach to trauma looked like. It’s written beautifully and simply (no easy feat considering the complexity of the topic) but what really struck me was when I reached a chapter that read as if the author was deeply familiar with my medical history. After asking my parents, it turns out I had a medical trauma when I was around 2 years old and following it, my health and behavior changed substantially - almost following Duncan’s descriptions to a tee. Thirty-four years later, this discovery has given me a better understanding of my reaction to the trauma, why my body reacted the way it did, and HOW I can begin to heal. I’m saddened to think how many people are experiencing similar health problems without having this powerful knowledge. I can’t over emphasize how much of an impact this book has had on me and how grateful I am I stumbled across it.

Hi this book is good. Noticed it kept referencing Peter Levine however a lot his work seems to come from Alexander Lowen written in the 1970s So would have been to also reference him. Thanks

Great book on trauma and how deal with it from a wholistic way!
