About this deal

Finally, the book gives some practical ways to help you rid yourself of pain; physical but especially mental things that medical specialists never seem to suggest. With great erudition and wit Steve manages to condense philosophical thought, neurological research and psychological thinking into a fabulous tool for re-conceptualising are experience of this bane of modern life – anxiety. Psychoanalysts and others working with people experiencing anxiety will benefit from reflecting on this book and sharing it with their patients.‘ Steve Haines is author of the best selling Really Strange series. Trauma is Really Strange is far and away the best selling book in the series, people really want to learn about what is happening when we feel overwhelmed. Want a primer on trauma? Here it is. Published in 2016, Steve Haines' graphic distillation of what trauma is and how we can mend some of its effects is loaded with wisdom. It's as if Haines was invited into the minds of sages like Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, and Stephen Porges, and drew out the essence of what we need to know. Very insightful, well researched, cleverly illustrated and written in a way that helps explain a complex, often elusive idea in relatively simple terms. I've suffered from 'regional-complex-pain-syndrome' for three years now, a diagnosis that seems super intense but is really just the name for conditions the specialists don't quite know what to do with. I've been to nerve specialists, doctors, cranial osteopaths, physios - you name it who have tried to put a name to what I'm experiencing, they don't understand why I have pain but noone's made an effort to even explain how it happens or what pain really is.

Es probable que lo más interesante que se resalta sea que la capacidad de poder entender cómo funciona el dolor nos permite reconocerlo y que podemos buscar estrategias para no tener que padecerlo con tanta gravedad como a veces sucede. it's a really basic introduction to some of the ways trauma impacts the brain and body. it seemed to start well, but didn't feel like it really delivered. i felt that in its attempt to be relatable to as many people as possible, it pretty much equated trauma with stress. this could be helpful to many... but also misleading/confusing. i was expecting it to deal with more 'life or death' type traumatic events. it referred quite a bit to providing 'trauma releasing exercises', but i felt like it actually offered very little when it came to it - 'shake the stress out' was pretty much the gist of it, and 'be in your body'. it felt like it was busy telling you 'you have the ability to overcome trauma', but not really giving you much to do that with... which taps into alsorts of problematic narratives, especially where many people who have expereince of trauma and PTSD will have tried and felt that they've failed to just 'get over it'. From the archives, audio from a webinar on Anxiety is Really Strange on 27 Apr 2022. You can also view as a video podcast Otra entrega de esta novela gráfica, que hace mini revisiones bibliográficas sobre temas interesantes, y los explica de una forma didáctica y entretenida. Esta vez el tópico elegido fue el dolor y se abarcaron cuestiones muy amplias, desde su definición hasta qué hacer para tolerarlo un poco mejor. Four and half years of chiropractic study was an attempt to gain some status and expertise in a degree level course in bodywork. I learnt a lot, but did not find the certainty I craved for or a clear rational model to help people suffer less.This short animation explores the phenomenon of dissociation. Most people know about ‘fight-or-flight’ not enough people know about ‘freeze’. ‘Dissociation is the essence of trauma’(van der Kolk B (2014) The Body Keeps The Score.Viking). Session work involves light touch, meditative awareness, TRE and education. Sessions are for anybody with pain, anxiety and trauma. There is a lot of ill health and suffering around. Most people initially start with pain, emotional distress, low energy, anxiety. This is from a series of non-fiction comics by Steve Haines that act as primers on how our bodies experience different things like trauma, anxiety and in this case, pain. Trauma is Really Strange by Steve Haines is a free NetGalley ebook that I read during an early morning in December. Being as I live with free-floating anxiety nearly everyday, I knew that this book could offer a new perspective (even though the cover looks a little bit like the Handbook for the Recently Deceased from Beetlejuice). At its heart, this book beautifully inspires the reader to see personal trauma as an opportunity for healing and growth.’

Steve, once again in talking head mode, thus diagrammatically takes us through the myriad different forms that trauma can take and what responses we can expect. As before, it’s the incredible degree of symbolism and visual metaphor that Sophie puts into every single illustration which transform this from merely being a succinct and extremely clear explanation of the facts to a fun filled pamphlet of pictorial educational enablement. Steve is the bestselling author of Pain is Really Strange, Trauma is Really Strange and Anxiety is Really Strange, which was Highly Commended by the BMA in 2018. He lives between London and Geneva. I think this book might be even better than the Trauma is Really Strange book... it really challenges you to re-examine your relationship with chronic pain.

It's an overly simplified approach to a complex subject, but presented in a very user friendly format. The illustrations are like infographics in nature. They are simple, but help illustrate the topics, like disconnected heads and bodies, or mice curled in fetal positions. The writing is encouraging and frank. I don't think it's overly optimistic, but it would seem to give hope to those suffering trauma and their loved ones. I see this as a very useful resource for those wanting a brief look at the subject and wanting to understand what trauma can do to people. They manage to deal with such complex topics in a manner that would be perfectly digestible and understandable even for primary school kids without remotely compromising on the scientific facts. Brilliant!‘ Al igual que en el tema anterior, la información siempre está basada en distintos autores, científicos y en estudios, que además involucran puntos de vista de varias ciencias o culturas a lo largo del tiempo. For many of us, anxiety and fear are daily visitors to the mind and body – in this brilliant book, Steve Haines gives us freeing tools to unmask these feelings… what he offers is apparently simple yet full of depth.’

Haines pulls together an accessible and friendly narrative with fantastic high-level academic footnotes. He takes us past some body-brain-mind confusion to provide understanding of the working of anxiety in the person.’Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2023-03-11 04:41:58 Associated-names Standing, Sophie, illustrator Autocrop_version 0.0.14_books-20220331-0.2 Boxid IA40875714 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier What is trauma? How does it change the way our brains work? And how can we overcome it? When something traumatic happens to us, we dissociate and our bodies shut down their normal processes. This unique comic explains the strange nature of trauma and how it confuses the brain and affects the body. With wonderful artwork, cat and mouse metaphors, essential scientific facts, and a healthy dose of wit, the narrator reveals how trauma resolution involves changing the body's physiology and describes techniques that can achieve this, including Trauma Releasing Exercises that allow the body to shake away tension, safely releasing deep muscular patterns of stress and trauma This short graphic novel explains what trauma is, how it works, and how it can inwardly and outwardly present itself. The book really had me going with how well it simplified what dissociation is and how it works. I’ve never seen dissociation explained so well in such a simplified way. I’m impressed that it was done so well here since this is such a short graphic novel. It would seem impossible that the weighty subject of trauma could be explored so thoroughly in a comic book format. Yet this pairing of text and image so perfectly balances academic rigor, whimsical design, and engaging little narratives. At its heart, this book beautifully inspires the reader to see personal trauma as an opportunity for healing and growth.

About Steve Haines | Body College About Steve Haines | Body College

The mind and the body are inexorably linked, there is no such thing as pure thought. Changes in the brain always result in a change in physiology somewhere in the body.” The book examines what happens to the brain and body when trauma happens. We can go into a disassoiated state where we feel disconnected from our bodies. This happens in PTSD as well as other trauma. Rather than dwell on the causes or the past, the book offers techniques that are used to get patients through it. Using the acronym OMG (for Orient, Move, Ground), we learn how reconnecting with the present and our bodies can help slowly overcome trauma. It's filled with footnotes with related research for those desiring further study. I work hard these days to base all my interventions in science based models. I am a die-hard materialist, Darwinian, atheist, and love embodied cognition and complexity as a philosophical approaches. There is not much room for lazy, fluffy thinking when working with trauma and persistent pain. I am deeply influenced by the trauma models of Bessel van der Kolk and Peter Levine and biopsychosocial model of pain. I am a big reader and have done a lot of short courses and have a long clinical practice on embodied approaches to healing pain, anxiety and trauma.

There is an epidemic of anxiety – studies consistently indicate more that 1 in 4 people regularly experience anxiety. In teenagers it rises to 1 in 3.
