  If you've experienced trauma, you may feel emotionally numb. You may have moments where you can't "calm down," or get to sleep. You might replay the traumatic event over in your mind.  And you may even isolate yourself from others. You should know that you are not alone. Many people will live through a potentially traumatic event at some point in their lives, and some will even develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you're struggling with symptoms, you need effective relief—right now. This workbook can help you find it. 
   
   
   
  In The Traumatic Stress Recovery Workbook, trauma and neuroscience expert Jennifer Sweeton provides forty brain-changing techniques for overcoming PTSD that you can begin using right away to build resilience, boost self-confidence, and develop self-efficacy. You'll learn what happens in your brain after experiencing trauma, and why it reacts in ways that cause even more distress. You'll also discover evidence-based strategies grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience to manage psychological and physical—or somatic—symptoms—so you can get back to your life. 
   
   
   
  Using the practical and integrative approach in this workbook, you can address symptoms at your own pace. And by making small lifestyle changes, you'll carve new neural pathways in your brain and jump-start the healing process.

  Psychiatry - Mental Health and...

  Psychiatry is a branch of medicine dedicated to the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. It plays a crucial role in modern healthcare by addressing conditions that affect cognition, mood, and perception, impacting overall well-being and functionality. Mental health disorders range from common conditions such as anxiety and depression to severe illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Psychiatrists, as medical professionals specializing in this field, assess and manage these conditions through a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and emerging therapeutic approaches. 
  The historical development of psychiatry has evolved significantly over centuries. Ancient civilizations, including the Greeks and Romans, attributed mental illness to supernatural forces, while Hippocrates introduced the concept of imbalance in bodily humors as a possible cause. During the Middle Ages, mental illness was often misunderstood and associated with demonic possession, leading to inhumane treatments. The emergence of asylums in the 18th and 19th centuries marked a shift toward institutionalized care, though conditions in these facilities were often poor. The 20th century brought advancements in psychopharmacology, neuroscience, and psychological theories, leading to a more scientific and humane approach to mental health care. Today, psychiatry integrates biological, psychological, and social factors to provide comprehensive treatment. 
  Psychiatry differs from other medical disciplines in its focus on both the mind and the brain. Unlike neurology, which primarily deals with structural disorders of the nervous system, psychiatry examines functional disturbances affecting thought, emotion, and behavior. While psychology also explores mental health, psychiatrists, as medical doctors, are uniquely qualified to prescribe medications and provide medical treatments alongside therapy.

  Chasing the Intact Mind - How...

  Amy S.F. Lutz

  The concept of the intact mind, first described in a 2006 memoir, refers to the idea that inside every autistic child is an intelligent, typical child waiting to be liberated by the right diet, the right treatment intervention, the right combination of supports and accommodations. The sentiment itself is not new. Though the idea gives hope to parents devastated by a child's diagnosis, Amy Lutz argues that it has also contributed to widespread dismantling of services badly needed by severely disabled children and their families. 
   
   
   
  In Chasing the Intact Mind, Lutz traces the history of the intact mind concept, explaining how it influences current policy and practice affecting those with autism. Lutz provides a historical analysis of the intact mind narrative and describes how the concept—originally unique to autism—has come to inform current debates at the heart of intellectual and developmental disability practice and policy in the United States. Lutz argues that focusing on the intact mind and marginalizing those with severe disability reproduces historic patterns of discrimination that yoked human worth to intelligence, and that it is only by making space for the impaired mind that we will be able to resolve these ongoing clashes—as well as even larger questions of personhood, dependency, and care.
