Trauma: Curative Concepts: 5 Eye-Opening Truths to Advance Healing in Individuals, Families, & Groups
The body-mind connection is real! -Amazon Customer Review
Have you been told to just get over it, move on, or that your problems are all in your head? Does it seem you’re always avoiding painful emotions or trying to bulldoze through life? Living with psychological trauma can be burdensome and exhausting. But, there’s a way out of the pain, and modern research in the field of neuroscience can show you how to find freedom.
Up-to-date studies on the topic of trauma prove that it’s firstly a physical issue and secondarily a mental issue. Specifically, it’s an issue of the nervous system being stuck in fight-or-flight mode, unable to stop seeing danger everywhere. But, why does a nervous system problem create a mental health problem?
Specific parts of the brain are activated while in fight-or-flight. This means you’ll only experience the stressful thoughts associated with avoiding fear and danger. The part of the brain that creates happy and peaceful thoughts cannot be activated while in fight-or-flight. Can the part of the mind associated with happy, peaceful emotions be turned back on?
The key is to bring your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into a state of calm equilibrium, something neuroscience research can show you how to do…

Nic’s Book is SPOT ON!
This is a BRIEF MUST READ for ALL humans and these kinds of books should be on a required reading list for high school or college aged kids! For those choosing to unlock the closet door that holds the secrets of family anxiety,stress, depression and fears, Nic’s books offer an easy to grasp and simplified overview to the current research behind human emotions and our bodily defenses. As animals we are genetically programmed to engage defensive survival mechanisms which are triggered in today’s culture when facing even the smallest of daily traumas as witnessed on TV or minor car or other accidents or yelling heard between parents or relatives or being yelled at by others.
As an educated learning based parent and grandparent, with merely an MA degree, I have been on a mission for the past year to understand why so many of our young adults have emotionally hyper-aroused nervous systems creating excessive stress and anxiety well beyond what we humans experienced in past generations. I have read most of the books Nic references yet Marist are lengthy and difficult for most lay persons to read as they take time most working people do not have! Nic references Discoveries within the last two decades which now opens understanding as to why so many humans today seeking NUMBING alternatives like marijuana amd alcohol to deal with hyperaroused nervous systems! This book touches on the path to HEALING through processes which current research has unveiled allows we humans to deal with our frayed nervous systems! Through HEALING using the newly discovered Somatic or Brain-spotting therapy a new era of psychology is emerging which could put an end to drug use as a band-aide to coping through numbing rather than the cure to depression, anxiety and life traumas! This books and others in Nic’s series is based on the past 2-3 decades of research that opens doors to the CURE of humans psychological ills of the mind and body!
Thank you Nic for writing and sharing your 9 year journey and discoveries!

Great mini book on trauma. Not a lot of information and most of it was pretty obvious. However still a good read to remind yourself how you need to deal with trauma or how to allow others to deal with trauma. Not a very informative book but a good reminder nonetheless.

I learned more things about the effects my trauma has had on me reading this than any book person or video ever hinted about, and I have seen a psychiatrist for almost 20 years and am about to start back with therapy! It’s as if Nic Saluppo has been living in my brain because he answered close to all of the questions I’ve been seeking answers to for years.
