Overview

For teens, young adults, and senior citizens, it's time to recognize how childhood trauma has affected you - and how you can reclaim the best part of your life from the shadows it casts. Childhood trauma takes many forms. Emotional, sexual, or physical abuse are only three types of the many anguishing faces trauma can take. You're not alone nor are you resigned to your inner turmoil. Doctor of Ministry Linda H. Plick's newest release, The Lingering Shadow, asserts that while childhood trauma can have a long-lasting impact on an individual, an individual can break from the cycle of negative self-perception, self-blame, and self-destructive behavior by addressing the trauma at its root. In The Lingering Shadow, Linda combines her faith, personal experiences, and science to create a new way to treat and heal. According to her strategy using the power of neuroplasticity, the brain can adapt and change by creating new neurons and new networks to break out of ""autopilot"" responses. The message of her book isn't to share and commiserate on traumatic events - but to show how fear and trauma associated with these events promote unhealthy emotional responses which become a person's mindset well into adulthood. When we create new neurons and networks, we're able to escape this cycle of pain, misery, and suffering. The Lingering Shadow expounds on the themes and strategies touched on by other helpful and industry-leading childhood trauma treatment publications, including What Happened to You? by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce D. Perry; Trauma by Paul Conti, M.D.; Trauma and Recovery by Judith Lewis Herman, MD.; Trauma and Memory by Peter A. Levine Ph.D., Bessel A. van der Kolk, MD., Trauma Through a Child's Eyes by Peter A. Levine, Maggie Kline; The Woman God Created You to Be by Kimberla Lawson Roby; Woman Evolve by Sarah Jakes Roberts.
