With wonderful artwork, cat and mouse metaphors,essential scientific facts, and a healthy dose of wit, the narratorreveals how trauma resolution involves changing the body'sphysiology and describes techniques that can achieve this, includingTrauma Releasing Exercises that allow the body to shake away tension,safely releasing deep muscular patterns of stress and trauma.
