Synopsis

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

Goodreads review by Marcy

I think Levine's ideas about how trauma manifests itself physically in one's body is important. Likewise so is his sense of how to extract it from the body and mind. What's not so clear is his method, which he seems to dance around through redundant scenarios. It would be nice if he could provide mo......more

Goodreads review by Daniel

I am in the process of writing a novel that touches upon trauma sustained by a child and wanted to read up on the topic, and I was pleasantly surprised by how accessible and readable this book was. I saw at least one other reviewer describe it as “simplistic”, but as a layperson, I was glad the book......more

Goodreads review by Raluca

Ideea generala a cărții este : "mereu, prima data lucram cu noi pentru a ii putea ajuta pe ceilalți". Daca noi ca părinți nu suntem vindecați din punct de vedere emoțional, se reprima în comportamentul copilului mai devreme sau mai târziu.
