Story
Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things - and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against - and teach us how to fight back.

Story
Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war.

The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grew up in houses that were not homes-in families that were as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated, and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul, and body. This book is a practical guide to recovering from lingering childhood trauma. It is copiously illustrated with examples of the author's and his clients' journeys of recovering.

Much has been written about trauma and neglect and the damage they do to the developing brain. But little has been written or researched about the potential to heal these attachment wounds and address the damage sustained from neglect or poor parenting in early childhood. This book presents a therapy that focuses on precisely these areas. Laurel Parnell, leader and innovator in the field of eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), offers us a way to embrace two often separate worlds of knowing.

In the tradition of Octavia Butler, here is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want. Change is constant. The world, our bodies, and our minds are in a constant state of flux. They are a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, Emergent Strategy teaches us to map and assess the swirling structures and to read them as they happen, all the better to shape that which ultimately shapes us, personally and politically.

Publisher's Summary
A longtime trauma worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky offers a deep and empathetic survey of the often-unrecognized toll on those working to make the world a better place. We may feel tired, cynical, numb, or like we can never do enough. These, and other symptoms, affect us individually and collectively, sapping the energy and effectiveness we so desperately need if we are to benefit humankind, other animals, and the planet itself. Through Trauma Stewardship, we are called to meet these challenges in an intentional way - not by becoming overwhelmed but by developing a quality of mindful presence. Joining the wisdom of ancient cultural traditions with modern psychological research, Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound practices that will allow us to remake ourselves - and ultimately the world.

Good book, horrendous narration
I was super excited that this came in audiobook format, so I could listen to this in my car, but once it began I realized something was terribly wrong. The narrator seems unfamiliar and unenthusiastic about the subject and verged on bored. They really did not do this book justice. Perhaps this was the narrators first time reading for an audiobook? I would highly recommend that this author finds better narration for their book to do their book the justice it needs.

Couldn't relate to this at all...
30 year Emergency Medical Services 911 Paramedic looking for some insight on PTSD after finally burning out and experiencing symptoms. On top of the obvious trauma exposure that comes from a career of everyday violence, death and dying including serving on 9/11, a domestic terrorist attack and then on the frontline in a global pandemic, I couldn't relate to any parts of this book. So wordy and scattered and the social justice agenda felt palpable, i couldn't even get thru Chspter 4. Not a suitable resource for public safety or public health professionals unfortunately.

fantastic book
initially i thought i wouldn't like this book because one of the first stories involved sad details which felt like the exact opposite of what i was looking for from this book. and one of the other early stories was a very long tale of trying to save frogs from extinction which seemed so far from what the book seems to be addressing (i get it's traumatic, but i don't see biologists seeking out a book like this). after those stories, the book was great. i loved the descriptions of the comics. it is a very positive, uplifting book overall. most of the end of chapter suggestions were a little ridiculous, but at least one felt helpful. lol at giving five stars then complaining nonstop.

This book was solid! Lots of nuggets of wisdom throughout. This is NOT some lofty book, and part of the content will challenge your own ego and sense of self (which, at times, is the medicine we need). Disregard comments about the narration, I thought the author did just fine.

Should be required reading for teachers
This book changed my viewpoint of my career. I am a teacher and the first thing that struck me is how many people and professions are impacted by trauma. I saw myself and my coworkers all throughout the reading. I realized I need a plan B. I’m burned out. My coworkers probably need a plan B too. But the book has made me more calm in the classroom and do a lot of self-
reflection that just may renew my interest in teaching.

Abandoned half way through
I have read and listened to hundreds of self help books and text books.
This book was painful to listen to and very badly thought out.
I found the author's pace of reading, tone of voice, accent and pitch very difficult to listen to.
Ordinarily I prefer the author to read their own audiobooks but this author was not skilled in this area.
I found her tone almost frenetic which actually caused me anxiety at times.
And explaining what each cartoon at the beginning of each chapter looked like was ridiculous, pointless and irksome.
The content itself was rambling.
Yes there were some good points in this book but they were buried in layer upon layer of case studies... I felt exhausted listening to this audiobook, which is why I abandoned it halfway through.
This book should come with a health warning.

Wonderful book, when I finished listening to it, I went straight back to the beginning and listened again!
I loved the narration, the descriptions of the cartoons included and the different readers of the various contributions.
A powerful read for all those regularly in contact with people going through challenging times in their lives.
You can’t pour from an empty jug but many in modern western cultures seem to have lost that wisdom. Laura gently reminds us to look after ourselves.

Pronounced words wrong
Great book and very helpful, but was frustrating to hear “Iraq” and “Hafez” mispronounced. Would recommend fixing this as the pronunciation you have is not even close.
