David Berceli, founder of Trauma Recovery Assessment and Prevention Services, is the host of this detailed and informative general program on recovering from trauma, whether brought on by terrorism, death in the family, sudden illness, natural disaster, or domestic/sexual abuse. Explaining the differences between everyday stress and trauma, and detailing the effects of trauma on the body, Berceli distills his 22 years of experience in trauma relief workshops into this program intended for individuals in recovery and/or support groups. Presented in a workshop/seminar format with five women, the program tackles both the body and the mind, featuring exercises designed to release chronic muscle tension, as well as psychological insights for restoring healthy thinking. Reminding viewers of the connection between mind, body and spirit in promoting overall health, this is an informative program, presented in an easygoing, confident, reassuring manner. Recommended for both general public library and medical library collections. Aud: P. (J. Asala)
