Description
Life is stressful, anxiety provoking, and frequently traumatic. The result is that many of us are hurting, and often we are unaware of how deep our hurt runs.
The painful experiences we go through aren’t simply “over and done with” once we pass through them, however. They each leave their mark, etched deep into both the psyche and the body, affecting how well we function from this point onwards.
The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process shows, in simple language, the effects that stress, anxiety, and trauma have on our mental wellbeing and our physical health. We discover that trauma is par for the course in any life, but that even the most damaging events can become a pathway to a more fulfilling and meaningful experience.
The magic of the approach of David Berceli’s Trauma Release Process is that it can be utilized by anyone, any place on the planet, even when professional help is beyond the individual’s reach. A person can use the process either as a stand-alone stress reduction or trauma release process or in conjunction with other modalities. The exercises are versatile and can be used to affect a wide range of hyperarousal states such as anxiety, irritability, exaggerated, startle response, etc. These exercises can help to reestablish a person’s psychophysical homeostasis by relaxing body tension and returning them to an emotionally healthy place.
This book is two parts: the “why” comes first, then the “how.” I skipped the “why” and went straight to the “how.” I can go back and read more later if I want to, but the exercises alone are worth the cost of the book. They are simple and effective. Everyone can benefit from understanding this way to release tension and calm the body with gentle movements in about 20-30 minutes. Delivers instant fascination with the process. Good therapy.
My wife and I are Fitness trainers and these exercises work. We did these exercises with a group of clients. I was skeptical but that evening something happened to trigger some old trauma from my son passing away. I have held onto this for 6 years and these exercises helped me release years of trauma.
And others get stuck and never make it out? The invitation to ponder that question alone makes this book worth the purchase price.
It is great to know these exercises to help release trapped trauma out of the nervous system. How about we focus on not getting traumatized in the first place.
Very interesting and the exercises produced a lot of good results. The entirety of the book was worth reading and, yes, for sure, the exercises do not take all that long, as others have said, and not bothering to read the bulk of the book, saves time. But, still, reading the front section might be very worth your time.
I’ve read a lot online and in books regarding PTSD, as well as info on personal development and psychology. And, LOL, at my age, I have a lot of friends who as the years have passed, continuously bend my ear regarding their woes and tribulations, including PTSD, medical problems, family woes and dramas, and issues they have with mental health. I’ve found taking the time to consider all perspectives help. : )
