'I can say with certainty that this man saved my life. He made life worth living. But most importantly, he empowered me to find and reclaim myself again'?Lady Gaga

Trauma is everywhere and so many of us are silently affected by it.

Stressful, challenging and frightening events can happen to anyone, at any age, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious and exhausted. Left unchecked, difficult experiences can have a lasting psychological effect on our wellbeing.

In?Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, leading psychiatrist Dr Paul Conti sets out a unique set of tools anyone can access to help recognise the signs of trauma, heal from past hurt and find the road to recovery.

Drawing on the most recent scientific research, Dr Conti breaks down the topic into clear sections that explore:

Why trauma happens


  • How trauma manifests in the body

  • What we can do to move past it

  • Practical exercises and solutions for getting to the root of the problem

  • This important, life-affirming book invites you to empower yourself against trauma, own your life experiences and learn to thrive, not just survive, in the wake of life's difficulties.

    Dr Conti is a physician and psychiatrist, and a person who has been through a lot, too. This gives him a unique perspective on how people function and how traumas can change us, specifically how traumas lead us to think and act differently without understanding why. * Kim Kardashian *
    Trauma affects countless individuals and families, and Paul's book is carefully thought out and explained in ways that are understandable to everyone. Wisdom and patience prevail in his unique outlook on a subject that has been largely ignored by doctors for years. It's a must-read for professionals as well as anyone who has experienced trauma or other psychological stressors. * Tommy Hilfiger *
