Synopsis

Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body—invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable.

Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment.

Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.

When you break your leg, no one sends you to physical therapy without first setting the bone and making sure it heals correctly.

Goodreads review by Barry on September 21, 2023

A must read for everyone I stumbled onto this book while researching ketamine therapy. The stories and results of the treatment for PTSD by a pain blocker injected at very specific points sounds like magic, which why so many stories about people undergoing treatment with remarkable results are inclu......more

Goodreads review by Peter on December 14, 2023

While there were some interesting aspects to this book, the one-sided nature of the content meant that it was impossible not to be sceptical of the claims. The arguments for treating PTSD as an injury rather than a disorder were convincing enough for me to change how I view the affliction. I was eve......more

Goodreads review by Amanda on March 24, 2023

This book offers hope to people suffering from the aftermath of trauma everywhere, but not in the way I expected. It opens up in the introduction of the book describing a revolutionary new procedure called DSR (Dual System Reset) which has been shown to help heal symptoms related to getting stuck in......more

Goodreads review by John on July 16, 2023

As someone who has dealt with panic and anxiety all my life, I was lucky enough to find this book thru a podcast (Lucas Rockwood, episode from May 31, 2023 'The Science of Trauma Recovery') with one of the authors; Jamie Mustard. I heard it at the right time and ordered the book immediately and the......more
