Trauma is Really Strange

Product Information

I’ve been struggling to get through the novel All’s Well by Mona Awad, which centers on a protagonist with chronic pain. I haven’t been sure how to feel about the characterization of this experience, so I turned to this little comic I bought years ago for some facts.

i think i'm a little disapppinted i was disappointed with this book. even knowing it was a slim volume, it was slimmer than i anticipated. the format and layout are nice, the text and illustrations good. it feels and looks nice in the hand. but the content left me desiring more. They manage to deal with such complex topics in a manner that would be perfectly digestible and understandable even for primary school kids without remotely compromising on the scientific facts. Brilliant!‘ The first hour is an interactive talk on trauma. It is suitable for people affected by trauma or therapists working with trauma.This wonderfully illustrated book will be a godsend to anyone wishing to understand the effects of trauma. Such clear, accessible explanations of how we hold, process and release trauma based on the latest research have been long overdue. This little book will be invaluable to both therapists and the public alike. Algo que destaco es que no se basa en una sola teoría o investigación, sino que aborda el tema desde más de una perspectiva. Incluso lo analiza desde distintas ciencias, como la Neurofisiología y la Psicología, e intenta integrar todo para llegar a una conclusión sencilla y esperanzadora.

Dissociation is the hidden mystery of trauma, by learning to be grounded we can put the brakes on overactive threat detections responses. Otra entrega de esta novela gráfica, que hace mini revisiones bibliográficas sobre temas interesantes, y los explica de una forma didáctica y entretenida.

I am a die-hard materialist, Darwinian, atheist, and love embodied cognition and complexity as a philosophical approaches. There is not much room for lazy, fluffy thinking when working with trauma and persistent pain. I am deeply influenced by the trauma models of Bessel van der Kolk and Peter Levine and biopsychosocial model of pain. I am a big reader and have done a lot of short courses and have a long clinical practice on embodied approaches to healing pain, anxiety and trauma.Want a primer on trauma? Here it is. Published in 2016, Steve Haines' graphic distillation of what trauma is and how we can mend some of its effects is loaded with wisdom. It's as if Haines was invited into the minds of sages like Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, and Stephen Porges, and drew out the essence of what we need to know. Unlike other texts on chronic pain, this one is accessible, short, and it is not condescending. It's helpful. However I also really recommend reading the footnotes as they contextualize the statements. You may have to use a magnifying glass. What is trauma? How does it change the way our brains work? And how can we overcome it? When something traumatic happens to us, we dissociate and our bodies shut down their normal processes. This unique comic explains the strange nature of trauma and how it confuses the brain and affects the body. With wonderful artwork, cat and mouse metaphors, essential scientific facts, and a healthy dose of wit, the narrator reveals how trauma resolution involves changing the body's physiology and describes techniques that can achieve this, including Trauma Releasing Exercises that allow the body to shake away tension, safely releasing deep muscular patterns of stress and trauma Listen to this podcast to explore what you can do change your anxiety experience and how you can support others to find agency and choice in meeting their anxiety.

The last 20 mins explore using Relational Touch and embodied approaches to anxiety. Episode Notes

Trauma is Really Strange by Steve Haines, Sophie Standing Trauma is Really Strange by Steve Haines, Sophie Standing

This podcast will introduce some models, rooted in science, that have helped many people shift their anxiety experience. Anxiety is rooted in protective gestures of speeding up to survive. It is much more a psychological problem. In this webinar we will explore embodied approaches to managing anxiety. For many of us, anxiety and fear are daily visitors to the mind and body – in this brilliant book, Steve Haines gives us freeing tools to unmask these feelings… what he offers is apparently simple yet full of depth.’ The mind and the body are inexorably linked, there is no such thing as pure thought. Changes in the brain always result in a change in physiology somewhere in the body.” The book examines what happens to the brain and body when trauma happens. We can go into a disassoiated state where we feel disconnected from our bodies. This happens in PTSD as well as other trauma. Rather than dwell on the causes or the past, the book offers techniques that are used to get patients through it. Using the acronym OMG (for Orient, Move, Ground), we learn how reconnecting with the present and our bodies can help slowly overcome trauma. It's filled with footnotes with related research for those desiring further study. Sophie Standing is an illustrator and designer, specialising in human sciences. Her style combines digital and hand-made, with an emphasis on rich colour, textures and metaphorical concepts.

When something traumatic happens to us, we dissociate and our bodies shut down their normal processes. This unique comic explains the strange nature of trauma and how it confuses the brain and affects the body. En particular, este libro me gustó más que el anterior ( Trauma is Really Strange), porque creo que se habla mucho más sobre Neuroanatomía y Neurofisiología, y básicamente a mí me encanta neuro. Incluso me gustaron más las ilustraciones y los diseños, pero también puede que ya no esté siendo objetiva. One thing that keeps coming up in All’s Well, is this notion that pain is a performance, something that is thought by others to be “all in your head.” That doesn’t sit right with me. It seems like gaslighting to describe it that way. But even people who study pain seem to struggle to pin it down. One quote from this comic that resonated with me was this: Steve Haines is a trainer, bodyworker and author. He has studied Yoga, Shiatsu, Craniosacral Therapy, TRE® (Trauma Releasing Exercises) and is a UK registered Chiropractor. Siempre pensé que la Psicología, entre otras cosas, se encarga de poner nombre a eso que hacemos, sentimos o nos pasa en el día a día; y no hay nada de malo en eso ni en nosotros. Acá, lo que Steve Haines intenta hacer es enseñarnos que eso que nos sucede en una situación traumática es hasta fisiológicamente normal. Sin embargo, no lo hace para que nos convirtamos en unos expertos en reconocer qué nos causa estrés o por qué lo hace, sino para que sepamos cómo responder para controlarlo un poco mejor e ir aprendiendo de las reacciones de nuestro propio organismo en el pasado para aplicarlo en el presente y futuro. Porque a veces no sabemos por qué sentimos o reaccionamos de una forma, pero podemos aprender a entenderlo y controlarlo de a poco para sobrellevarlo, y así volver una situación traumática algo más apacible.
