Trauma ist ziemlich strange

What is trauma? How does it change the way our brain works? And how can we cope with it, overcome it and become whole again? When something traumatic happens to us, we dissociate and our bodies shut down their normal processes. This graphic novel explains the strange nature of trauma and how it messes with the brain and affects the body. With clever imagery and metaphors, basic scientific facts, and a healthy dose of humor, Steve Haines explains how healing trauma involves not only the psyche, but especially the body. He demonstrates methods and exercises to relieve tension and release deep muscular stress patterns. Illustrations by Sophie Standing.
