In Trauma and Memory, best-selling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps.

Images and sounds of war, natural disasters, and human-made devastation explicitly surround us and implicitly leave their imprint in our muscles, our belly and heart, our nervous systems, and the brains in our skulls. We each experience more digital data than we are capable of processing in a day, and this is leading to a loss of empathy and human contact. This loss of leisurely, sustained, face-to-face connection is making true presence a rare experience for many of us, and is neurally ingraining fast pace and split attention as the norm.

Early studies of the human brain used a simple method: Wait for misfortune to strike - strokes, seizures, infectious diseases, horrendous accidents - and see how victims coped. In many cases their survival was miraculous, if puzzling. Observers were amazed by the transformations that took place when different parts of the brain were destroyed, altering victims' personalities. With the lucid, masterful explanations and razor-sharp wit his fans have come to expect, Kean explores the brain's secret passageways.

Are you struggling with IBS, Crohn's Disease, constipation, IBD, or other gut issues, and nothing is helping? If you have tried everything and aren’t feeling better, your vagus nerve might be the culprit. Trauma, chronic stress, or surgery can damage your vagus nerve and put you into a perpetual state of fight, flight, freeze, instead of rest, digest, and heal. When the vagus nerve isn’t working properly, there is a lack of communication between the gut and the brain. This makes it hard for your body and your gut to function properly. “The Vagus Nerve Gut-Brain Connection: Heal Your ...
