Trauma a disociace

Psychological trauma is an overwhelming experience that we cannot process. When traumatic stress overloads our nervous system, dissociation is a natural consequence. This means dissociation - it protects us from unbearable pain and full awareness of what has happened to us. It will enable us to survive, but later it can become an ordeal in itself.
The book explains dissociation as the background to post-traumatic symptomatology. It describes how traumas from childhood and in relationships manifest themselves and what is burdensome and what is healing for traumatized people. It also discusses the role of society in dealing with the reality of traumatization.
The author speaks to readers in accessible language and draws on current scientific knowledge in psychotraumatology and neurobiology. She comprehensively guides through the topic and the meaningful application of theory to practice. Provides a compassionate explanation of the experiences of traumatized people.
