About this listen

 We hear the terms trauma and PTSD more and more. Yet many people still believe that trauma can only result from experiences that are particularly extreme. But trauma is an emotional response that can stem from a wide variety of upsetting experiences, leaving us feeling anxious, weighed down by negative emotions or memories, or feeling like we lack security.

As a licensed therapist, Kati Morton addresses this challenge: If we don’t have an understanding of trauma and how it’s defined, how can we work to overcome it? The urgency of meeting this challenge increases at a time when we are bombarded with a constant flow of frightening stories—about global pandemics, ecological disasters, riots, and mass shootings—that can trigger our emotional stress. We must find a balance between staying connected to the world on social media while avoiding the false facts, hate-filled comments, and passive-aggressive posts and accounts that feed negative thoughts. In Traumatized, Morton shares a unique perspective on trauma in the modern age, including:
  • Tips to be more mindful of what we do and who we follow online, which is the key to improving our relationship with social media and stop spreading the trauma
  • Helpful therapeutic techniques to heal from childhood trauma
  • Skills to identify transgenerational trauma and begin to break harmful cycles in your home
  • Whether to seek therapy or counseling.
Ultimately, you’ll learn how to identify and cope with your triggers, pay attention to how platforms and accounts can harm your mental health, and find the tools to manage what you can see online.

I enjoyed this book. it was in great detail. the only thing which I think could have been added is examples of real trauma victims and their story on their journey of recovery.

Loved it and understand so much more about what trauma really is. Kati is a wonderfully sincere therapist. Great narration

An uncomplicated look at a complicated subject

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
it is useful when you know nothing or little about trauma or complex trauma (or PTSD or C-PTSD), It gives a good general overview of what trauma and complex trauma have in common and what the differences are, and it also gives a brief general overview of treatment options. There is some information on attachment styles, but all are very general and too little to figure out what your own attachment style could be. Then it is full of those kinds of general advice about eating healthy making sure you get enough sleep, exercising, thinking positively, hang out with people who give you a good feeling Quite general and shallow.

However, the most annoying thing I found in this book was the emphasis on COVID-19 and the pandemic. As if that was one big traumatic event for everyone, while most people just made some adjustments to their lives during lockdowns and carried on with life and now two years later totally have forgotten about it. Just a bad example to explain what trauma and complex trauma really is about.

useful book when you are new to the subject
