Summary

Join Dr. Paul Conti for a journey toward understanding, active treatment, and societal prevention of trauma.

Imagine, if you will, a disease - one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice; one that transfers easily between parent and child; one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.

In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper, richer, and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.

With all this in mind, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic proposes a course of treatment for the seemingly untreatable. Here, Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we can make both as individuals and as a society to alleviate trauma’s effects and prevent further traumatization in the future.

It’s only when we understand how a disease spreads and is sustained that we are able to create its ultimate cure. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable mental illness is both treatable and preventable.

Incredibly simple and easy to understand

Great book! It made complex & comprehensive effects of truama easy to understand. I have no doubt it will be beneficial for anyone who is on their journey to heal and to grow into the person they hope to become. It is also an amazing read for anyone who is trying to gain more compassion and understanding for others, especially their loved one who might be struggling with truama.

Good

Gives a good account of how trauma effects people. Ultimately points to a society of being compassionate towards oneself and others, and the absolute importance of seeing the narratives and scripts you run and building narratives that are affirmative—everyone has that task.

Important topic yet a bit too much why over how

Important topic, yet Id have liked more emphasis on the mechanics of healing trauma. Now most of the time is spent on argumenting why trauma is bad instead of concrete steps on healing whicg are discussed, but not enough for my preferences.
