This accessible guide explores how our brains react to stress and
offers a fresh perspective on how we define "trauma." Probing how
the words we use can influence our understanding of distress, this
text focuses on expanding awareness of excess stress and reducing
judgment of its potential impact on relationships and day-to-day
life. Helpfully split into three parts, the book introduces the
terms "cortisprinkled," "cortisaturated," and "cortisoaked" and
provides a rationale for why these states of brain occur. The role
of culture and society are highlighted, and an in-depth focus on
coping and offering support to others is presented. Whether caused
by sexual assault, social rejection, abuse, the taboo of sexuality,
disadvantaged status, or other difficulties, chapters detail
specific coping skills and step-by-step strategies to deal with a
variety of stress responses. Advice is offered on reconnecting with
sexuality, phrasing difficult questions, and ways to offer
validation, with concrete recommendations on incorporating
healthier practices into everyday life. Both metaphor and
real-world vignettes are interwoven throughout, making Redefining
Trauma an essential and understandable resource for therapists and
their clients, parents and support givers, and anyone looking to
develop practical, informed methods for dealing with stress and
trauma and reclaim life with intention.
