I Can't Get Over It
This book written by Aphrodite Matsakis is a self- help book for those who have experienced trauma. It is a most comprehensive book dealing with PTSD (Post Trauma Syndrome Disorder). Because it lacks an index, I've developed one.This book does tend to be a bit inconsistent in its flow, however the author is attempting to cover a great deal of material in a short space. She helps the readers realize that whatever thoughts or feeling they are experiencing is "normal" for what they have been through. She says that just as a broken bone does not mend overnight, the broken spirit will likewise take time to heal. She introduces the concept that trauma is stored in the right brain where there is no logic. She suggests ways to connect the trauma in the right brain with the logic in the leftt brain, giving hope to those daily bombarded by "triggers" or reminders of the trauma. This book is a must for trauma survivors and those who work with them.
