Summary
Explains how the human body stores painful events in its neurobiological system, producing bodily symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and mood swings, as well as unhealthy repetitive ways of relating, and offers a look at new power therapies that can reprocess these memories out of the body. 50,000 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Reading Maggie Scarfâs groundbreaking new book could change your life. In Secrets, Lies, Betrayals, the bestselling author of Unfinished Business, Intimate Partners, and Intimate Worlds brilliantly explores how the body holds on to painful episodes from the pastâincluding secrets we may be keeping even from ourselvesâand how we can release them to live freer, healthier lives.
The body has a unique memory system, in which early trauma and deeply buried feelings become woven into the fabric of our physical being. Certain events can trigger these body memories, which may then manifest themselves symptomaticallyâas persistent anger, mood swings, headaches, muscle tension, and fatigue. These echoes from the past also cause destructive patterns in our lives and relationships.
Why does a beautiful, successful woman like Claudia seek out abusive, explosively tense relationships in which she is forced to hide the truth about herself? Why does the presence of a strange womanâs name in her husbandâs cell phone directory make Karen feel physically ill, to the point where she cannot get through her daily life? And why does the author herself experience painful physical symptoms when she wrestles with contradictory memories of her mother? Exploring these and other personal narratives, Scarf reveals how the body, through its neurobiological systems, retains some of lifeâs most important experiencesâand describes how new power therapies, such as reprocessing and psychomotor, have had immediate results where traditional therapies have had a lower success rate.
Grounded in recent breakthroughs in mind/body science and drawing on Scarfâs personal experiences, this book is a masterpiece of research, analysis, and insight into the human psyche, and into human life.
