Psychology Trauma

Kriegstraumata können über mehrere Generationen hinweg übertragen werden. Deshalb ist Deutschland, wie zahlreiche andere Länder der Welt, auch nach Jahrzehnten des Friedens noch immer ein kriegstraumatisiertes Land. An den Traumafolgen früherer Kriege leiden nicht nur Menschen, die Krieg direkt miterlebt haben und deshalb durch eigenes Erleben "direkt kriegstraumatisiert" sind. Vielmehr kann jeder indirekt betroffen sein, der traumatisierte Eltern und/oder traumatisierte Bezugspersonen hat und/oder in einer insgesamt kriegstraumatisierten Gesellschaft lebt.

Conventional trauma treatments (talk therapy and medication) simply don't work for many trauma survivors, and now we know why. Researchers have identified the core symptom that drives most other symptoms—neurological dysregulation. It's an injury to your nervous system triggered by abuse and neglect in childhood, and it can profoundly impact your physical health, damage your ability to learn and focus, and hold you back from forming caring relationships. The good news is that healing is possible, and in Re-Regulated, author Anna Runkle (aka the Crappy Childhood Fairy) shows you how.

A mix of fundamental theory and nuts-and-bolts practice, the audiobook delivers a carefully articulated and accessible look at the mind and brain in developmental trauma, what a “trauma identity” looks like, and how neurofeedback can be used to retrain the brain, thereby fostering a healthier, more stable state of mind.

What makes trauma therapy effective? The answers might surprise you.
