    About this audiobook

    A Journey Toward Understanding, Active Treatment, and Societal Prevention of Trauma

    Imagine, if you will, a disease—one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice, one that transfers easily between parent and child, one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul
    Conti, this is exactly how society should view trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.

    In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and real-life stories to present a deeper and more urgent view of trauma. Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we
    can make, both as individuals and as a society, to alleviate trauma’s effects and prevent further traumatization in the future. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable illness is both treatable and preventable.

      I feel like this could be read/listened to by everyone, and would help everyone help everyone by coming from these understandings as a society of a new explanation of what it could mean to be free.
    • 2/5
      Good topic and some useful info but mainly unnecessary repetition on the damaging effects of trauma which most people who need trauma recovery are more than acutely aware of, at least on an intellectual level, which is all that is offered here anyway.
      The author had a lot of self-talk and in his own personal opinion, but presented as fact, or at least could be misconstrued as fact.

      A deep, touching, plenty of nuances and insight of human nature; a human book for human beings. Thank you dr. Conti, you have put in words a precious perspective we share as species.
