At the core of this book is the understanding of how trauma is imprinted on the body, brain, and spirit, resulting in anxiety, nightmares, depression, physical illnesses, addictions, hyperactivity, and aggression.

Trauma Through a Child's Eyes: Awakening the Ordinary Miracle of Healing This is a fabulous book with excellent insight into the impact of trauma on the body. The authors offer a succint and easy read filled with information describing the dynamics of fight, flight or freeze that accompany every trauma. I gained not only helpful insight for working with children but insight into my own "freezes". Wonderfully helpful and a must-read for any parent or all adults working with children.  for more information click here Thorough and Concise As an educator this book was extremely valuable in many ways. One of these ways was that it gave me insight into a child's brain that has experienced trauma. This book also taught me how to recognize the signs of a child experiencing trauma and how to assist ALL my students to move past and become unstuck from everyday to severe traumas. This book should be a must for anyone teaching children. If I had one wish I would wish the school system would tone down performance based learning and get the core of why a child thinks and acts the way they do. This book is invaluable.  for more information click here Good Book This is a excelent and interesting book. I've gained a lot of good ideas for both my children and myself. It is a little long winded but I suppose healing trauma is a process not for those(often like myself)seeking instant gratification. reviews: page 1, 2 products you might be interested in recommendations Pregnancy search for books trauma through, awakening, healing, miracle, ordinary, through      toavi.com    web randomly chosen DVD: Hide and Seek
