Summary

• Trauma is horrendous.

• It overwhelms its victims and often the people who try to treat it.

• It reshapes one’s sense of self, bodily experience and brain organization — leaving people stuck in terror, isolation, and shame.

• My life’s work has been to find the most effective pathways to healing trauma.

• It’s why I founded the Trauma Center, have been part of groundbreaking research, and wrote the #1 New York Times bestselling book The Body Keeps the Score and its forthcoming companion workbook (co-authored with Licia Sky, 2020).
