RECONNECTED

Book ID/图书代码： 06570819C00005

English Summary/英文概要： Have you ever stopped to consider why a sexual assault or childhood sexual abuse can impact a person in such a profound and lasting way?

You may have heard of rape paralysis, tonic immobility or a shut-down response and been curious as to how this occurs. Surely we are designed to fight a perpetrator?

Yet under conditions of extreme fear and in situations where escape is considered impossible, research has shown that our very design as humans may render us powerless to act and defend ourselves.

Reconnected offers hope to survivors of sexual trauma as it presents an experience of recovery. It is written as a mix of Janine Stirling’s personal life story, together with the pelvic-floor physiotherapy approach that ultimately brought her healing.
Janine takes the reader on a journey, describing the challenges of intimacy and living with the symptoms of complex trauma.
She explains how her physiotherapist built trust and hope - and how this was instrumental in providing a platform for change.

This book is a first of its kind in exploring how trauma of this nature can be treated in this way.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者在童年受過性虐待，二十多年來，為了治癒創傷，她試過各種方法，心理諮商、談話治療、精神分析…然而，出人意料的是，她最終透過了物理治療的療程，而治癒了心理創傷。

在物理治療中，記憶的碎片匯聚在一起。她的感官知覺潛藏在身體因創傷而停滯的動作之中，在物理治療期間，她的身體終於得以用它原本可以的方式活動，如同它從未恐懼和驚嚇所震懾被

她寫道：「在這裡，我發現物理治療與我之前嘗試過的諮商、心理和精神科治療方法截然不同...我在情緒在流淌，我的身體顯示出我的大腦在談話治療中從來無法拼湊的東西。因此，儘管我花了很多年的時間試圖將這些碎片拼湊在一起，但最終，保存這些記憶的卻是我的身體，而不是大腦。我的身體揭示了當我小時候發生在我身上的真相。」

這是她重新連結身體與心靈，從生理的層面治癒心理創傷的故事。 (Zoe)
