Window of tolerance: expand it... w.ukraińska

Trauma changes our perception of the world. The traumatic event itself remains in the past, but post-traumatic reactions prevent us from living a full life today. Traumatic experiences remain outside our consciousness and manifest themselves in physical symptoms and self-destructive behaviors. Elizabeth Stanley's book is the key to awareness and, therefore, healing. The author explores cultural norms that hinder resilience, including the collective tendency to separate stress from its consequences and neglect the need for recovery. Her personal experience has enabled Elizabeth Stanley to develop an innovative approach to recovery from stress and trauma, providing civilians and military personnel with tools to improve self-regulation and psychological resilience.
