Summary of Babette Rothschild's 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Mindfulness is a simple strategy that involves paying attention to your body sensations, states, feelings, images, and thoughts as they move in and out of your consciousness. It helps you access all sorts of data about yourself, and it can be used to make choices based on that information.

#2 The same principles can be applied to more significant decisions, such as which treatment, exercise, or intervention is right for you. With mindfulness, you can take the power of determining what is best for you away from the experts and hold it firmly in your own hands.

#3 People who have suffered from the aftermath of trauma are very vulnerable. Their nervous systems are off-kilter, and they become desperate to try anything that might help them. When something works, all the better. But when interventions fail, the trauma survivor can end up in worse condition than before treatment.

#4 There are so many options available that it is often difficult to choose, and evidence for what has been proven to work is sometimes contradictory. It is possible that had Martha been counseled or helped to foresee if this program would suit her, she would have been able to access information indicating a clearer direction for her.
