Everyday trauma : remapping the brain's response to stress, anxiety, and painful memories for a better life / by Shors, Tracey,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-185) and index.Prologue -- Part I: The stories of our lives. Life's traumas--both large and small ; How stress and trauma change our lives ; The two forms of everyday trauma -- Part II: From thoughts to memories to feelings. Ruminations: thoughts that get stuck in our brains ; The brain is always learning ; Women and their changing brains ; Everyday neurons for everyday life -- Part III: Preparing our brains for everyday trauma. Therapies for stress and trauma ; MAP train my brain: a "mental and physical" training program ; Why we should train our brains ; Living with traumas: past, present, and future."Whether a specific harrowing event or a series of stressful moments that culminate over time, trauma can echo and etch itself into our brain as we remember it again and again throughout our lives. Neuroscientist Dr. Tracey Shors examines trauma with a focus on its pervasive nature-how it can happen at any time, through big or small events, and how it often reappears in the form of encoded memory. Her research reveals that when we are reminded of our trauma, reliving that tragic moment copies yet another memory of it in our brain, making it that much more difficult to forget. Dr. Shors also explores the neuroscience behind why women in particular are more vulnerable to stress and traumatic events, setting them up to be three times more likely than men to suffer PTSD. Potential long-term consequences such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, trauma can have a lasting impact on both the brain and body. By understanding how our brain responds to trauma and practicing proven techniques that can train our brains and help us let go of our tragic memories-whatever they may be-we are better equipped to leave our traumatic pasts behind and live in a brighter present"--
