The Resilience Response

Dr. Rachel Yehuda is brilliant and one of the world’s foremost researchers on the neurobiology of trauma. She has been at the forefront of trauma research for at least three decades and has a profound and much-needed perspective. I’ve seen the impressive depths of her clinical wisdom about traumatic stress, societal and communal impact - as well as her wisdom as a teacher and a generous scientific collaborator. Her book could not be more needed and will undoubtedly be met with great success. I know the millions of readers who have read The Body Keeps the Score will welcome this new and important work as we try to address trauma individually and societally – BESSEL VAN DER KOLK, author of The Body Keeps the ScoreDr. Rachel Yehuda’s pioneering research into the multigenerational transmission of trauma has deeply informed my understanding, work and writing. In this new book, based on her groundbreaking clinical experience and insights, she takes us into the realm of healing the present and the past, and therefore the future. I could not be more enthusiastic – GABOR MATÉ, author of When The Body Says No
