Trauma is Really Strange Paperback – Illustrated, December 21, 2015

"Trauma is Really Strange" reads like a graphic novel or a comic book. It illustrates what goes on in the mind of someone who has been diagnosed with PTSD. I've been going to therapy for PTSD for a while and my therapist suggested this book. Not only did it shed light on the scary symptoms and the anxiety I was experiencing, but it also helped my family members understand what I was going through. I highly recommend it.

Book was as described and super fast delivery. I would definitely buy from them again and I recommend this seller.

This is a fantastic review of trauma; how it starts, why the body reacts the way it does, the feelings that come from trauma including decades later...and more importantly, what to do about it. This isn't a self-help book suggesting that you go it alone, but it does help the person suffering under trauma understand what is happening and why and when to get help. bravo

Great overview, with helpful resources

This comic takes a complicated topic and makes it easily understandable. I am going to use this in my work as a mental health counselor to help adolescents learn about and gain a better understanding of trauma. I just wish there was a hardcover version because I am going to use this booklet a lot.

Explains trauma in a super human friendly way. I recommend this book to all people who have experienced trauma or for those who had a friend/family member experience it so they can hopefully understand better.

The entire ______ is Really Strange series is excellent. It provides a very accessible introduction to these subjects. It definitely requires supplementation from other sources, but it serves as a great entry point.

I have a lot of training in Trauma and the brain. This is an excellent summary of research. It is very accessible and has suggestions on taking the insights into action to live more fully. Thank you!

Clients love reading this book and picking up tidbits of good information before their appointments. All the books in this series are well written and presented in highly understandable and memorable format.

After suffering from a few traumatic events in my life and not quite understanding the depth of them, this book really helps you understand how your brain switches to protect you. Amazing really. There are other books as well that are in this series

Easy to access, quick to read, perfect to understand how trauma works in the body.

トラウマの問題は取り掛かろうとすると体調が悪くなるのでなかなか手を出せないでいた。この本のイラストや簡潔な表現は、自分の中の嫌な記憶を呼び起こすことなく読み進められる。最初の一歩を踏み出すのに最適な本だと思う。日本語版はシリーズの合本しかなかったので英語版を買ったけど、両方買っても良さそう。Kindleアプリだと1ページずつ拡大して読まないといけないのと、アプリの辞書が使えないのがちょっと不便。紙版も欲しい。手元にあったら勇気づけられると思う。

Trauma is really Strange e Pain is really Strange sono due graphic book spettacolari. Sono chiari, esaustivi, aggiornati ed illustrati in modo splendido. Un'idea fantastica per spiegare ai non addetti i meccanismi sottesi alla percezione del dolore e al funzionamento del cervello! sarebbero da tradurre immediatamente in italiano.
