Summary of David Emerson & Elizabeth Hopper 's Overcoming Trauma through Yoga

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

#1 Trauma can take many forms, from abuse at home to sexual assault, experience in war, and many other difficult experiences. It can overwhelm our ability to cope, and the resulting symptoms can be debilitating.

#2 The impact of trauma is difficult to describe because it is so dependent on the individual’s subjective experience. For many people, exposure to trauma has a profound impact on health and well-being.

#3 The Adverse Childhood Experiences study is a major research study that links adult health status to child abuse and household dysfunction experienced during childhood. When the survival system is rendered ineffectual due to a traumatic event, we can become deeply wounded and feel unsafe in our bodies.

#4 Trauma-sensitive yoga is a treatment developed at the Trauma Center at Justice Resource Institute that helps trauma survivors heal by making peace with their bodies, and learning to trust them again.
