Description
What parents, educators, and health professionals can do to recognize, prevent, and heal childhood trauma, from infancy through adolescence—by the author of Waking the Tiger
Trauma can result not only from catastrophic events such as abuse, violence, or loss of loved ones, but from natural disasters and everyday incidents like auto accidents, medical procedures, divorce, or even falling off a bicycle. At the core of this book is the understanding of how trauma is imprinted on the body, brain, and spirit—often resulting in anxiety, nightmares, depression, physical illnesses, addictions, hyperactivity, and aggression.
Rich with case studies and hands-on activities, Trauma Through a Child’s Eyes gives insight into children’s innate ability to rebound with the appropriate support, and provides their caregivers with tools to overcome and prevent trauma.
“Trauma Through A Child’s Eyes . . . creates its own mold in a way that everyone concerned with the health and happiness of children will be grateful for.” —Gabor Maté, MD, author of Hold On to Your Kids
This is a parents bubble to help avoid the long term effects of subtle childhood abuse. When you think you are in control and then life grows you curve balls just remember your children are along for the ride so be mindful and take action. Peter Levine saved my life there is no one more equipped to guide us three hell. I often use this book as a reference during sessions.
Simply put: a must have for any LCSW or any medical health (physical or mental) provider that works with children. AND much of the content can help adults understand past trauma and how it may have or currently affects them.
Amazing book, well worth a read, a chunky book with a nice soft cover and of course, an amazing approach to trauma minimising and treatment
The book was clean and like new as it was told. Thanks.
This text is one of the required for a program where I am being trained to become a trauma competent professional. The book is thorough and comprehensive in explaining to persons about the needs and requirements
necessary in understanding areas to include in raising children from infancy through adolescence .This book provides significant case studies and tool kits to provide support and healing for those whose lives have been impacted by trauma.
