Abstract

This graphic novel answers your questions about trauma:

What is trauma?

How does it change the way our brains work?

And how can we overcome it?

Squeeze any human hard enough and they will be overwhelmed.

This comic explains the strange nature of trauma and how it confuses the brain and affects the body. With cat and mouse metaphors, essential scientific facts, and a healthy dose of wit, the narrator reveals how trauma resolution involves changing the body's physiology and techniques that can achieve this.
