Description
Our stress response system is magnificent - it operates beneath our awareness, like an orchestra of organs playing a hidden symphony. When we are healthy, the orchestra plays effortlessly, but what happens when our bodies face chronic stress, and the music slips out of tune? The alarming rise of stress-related conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and depression, show the price we're paying for our high-pressure living, while global warming, pandemics and technology have brought new kinds of stress into all our lives. But what can we do about it? Explore the fascinating mysteries of our hidden stress response system with Dr. Wulsin, who uses his decades of experience to show how toxic stress impacts our bodies; he gives us the expert advice and tools needed to prevent toxic stress from taking over. Chapter by chapter, learn to help your body and mind recover from toxic stress.
Advance Praise
‘In this brilliant and eminently readable book, Lawson Wulsin highlights the role of chronic stress and trauma as the most burdensome (and neglected) public health issue in our society, affecting multiple organ systems in the body that have a profound impact on our social, financial and medical well-being. Illustrated with vivid case histories, Wulsin presents the complex and multidimensional impact of toxic stress, while providing us with exciting and life-altering evidence based solutions.’ Bessel van der Kolk, MD, author of The Body Keeps the Score, President of Trauma Research Foundation
