Story
Dr Gabor Maté is one of the world’s most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findings - based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness - are reframing how we view all human development. In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Maté takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our society.

Bessel Van der Kolk, MD, is the author of The Body Keeps the Score. In this book, Bessel examines the ways that trauma can affect people and how they can recover from past traumatic events. When a person experiences trauma, it will change the wiring in their brain, and this will cause a change in the way that person views their life and everyday situations. Trauma has a negative effect on both the body and mind in a way that will prevent a person affected by trauma from enjoying the present moment.

Trauma is much closer to home than many of us think. It affects those fleeing wars and veterans returning from combat. Yet, it also affects those who grew up with alcoholics or those who were subjected to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. In his book, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk goes into detail about how this changes the way we think and offers an in-depth look at the new treatments that can help overcome trauma and reshape the brain.

NARM is a somatically based psychotherapy that helps bring into awareness the parts of self that are disorganized and dysfunctional.

Intermittent fasting has been spoken of for decades, but you’ve probably heard a lot more about it in the last couple of years. Celebrities like Chris Hemsworth and Beyoncé have come out about this method of weight loss. It’s a health practice that you probably overhead while in yoga class, or while scrolling through the internet looking for the next best diet. Intermittent fasting is better than any diet though.

Very well written account of how our bodies hold onto our experiences and how this can shape our lives. I both read and listened to this book - TWICE. Have to make a notation here that the narrator was great in the audible version. I've given this book as gifts to colleagues who also help patients with chronic pain issues - it's a great resource to remind us of all the aspects to look at.

What a phenomenal book. I've been dealing with Western medicine for the past 15 to 20 years dealing with being diagnosed wrongly with multiple scary mental disorders such as schizophrenia and pills were not the answer either and I finally found this book and I am starting to finally make changes from my terrible childhood. it also teaches you that you should be a little bit more kind to everybody because we never honestly know what anybody's going through but we are taught to hate so much through life. thank you for writing this book as much appreciated you have saved me to go on a better path with my family and I can't thank you enough for that.

For professionals
After tying the first few chapters of the original, I switched to the summary as I felt like the intended audience for this book was professional therapists and not general public. After finishing the summary, I still feel that way. I thought they did a good job summarizing the book but the narrator was dry for my taste. Also felt like there was no rhythm or breaks between chapters. Like they wanted to get this done along with multiple others that day.
Overall I think a YouTube summary would be just as good.
