While trauma awareness has grown exponentially in recent years, we
still tend to treat our response to trauma as a disorder or sign of
malfunction. With Unbroken, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald offers an
empowering alternative: What if instead of seeing traumatic
experience as that which breaks our spirit, we see it as that which
proves our spirit cannot be broken? Here, McDonald offers a radical
reframing of how we understand trauma-and a profound new approach
for healing. According to McDonald, trauma occurs whenever we
experience something that shatters our structures of belief about
the world and our place within it. When trauma occurs, our
miraculous biological systems adapt to help us survive-and
sometimes this creates a constellation of mysterious symptoms that
persist long after the event. If we can see these initial
adaptations as natural strength responses, we come away with a new
path to healing. We must tend to our neurobiological systems while
we grieve our shattered beliefs and find new meaning, peeling away
layers of shame as we go. Through an engaging combination of
personal experience, client stories, and practical neuroscience,
McDonald helps us better understand how trauma functions in body
and spirit, guiding us from coping to growth. At the heart of the
book lies a message of hope: trauma is unavoidable-but we are built
to handle it.
