What is trauma? How does it change the way our brains work? And how can we overcome it? When something traumatic happens to us, we dissociate and our bodies shut down their normal processes. This unique comic explains the strange nature of trauma and reveals how trauma resolution involves changing the body's physiology. With cat and mouse metaphors, engaging illustrations, and a healthy dose of wit, the narrator shows how we can overcome trauma and describes Trauma Releasing Exercises that allow the body to shake away tension, safely releasing deep muscular patterns of stress and trauma.
