In 'Panic Proof,' Dr. Nicole Cain presents a revolutionary approach to understanding and managing panic disorders. The book emphasizes the body's role in panic attacks and provides a holistic solution that goes beyond traditional treatments. It includes quizzes, self-assessment worksheets, and practical exercises to help readers identify and address the root causes of their panic. Dr. Cain shares her personal story, examples from her patients, and a science-based protocol derived from her decade of experience. The book covers topics such as retraining stress responses, the impact of the endocrine system on panic, and the use of holistic supplements, herbs, and psychobiotics for anxiety relief.
In this book, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma reshapes both the body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores various treatments, including neurofeedback, meditation, sports, drama, and yoga, which activate the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to aid in recovery. The book emphasizes the power of relationships in both causing and healing trauma and offers hope through descriptions of novel approaches to treatment. It is based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists in the field[1][2][5].
