Book Reviews of Too Scared To Cry: Psychic Trauma In Childhood
Book Review: ONE OF THE TEN MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS EVER WRITTEN !
Summary: 5 Stars
Too Scared to Cry is one of the ten most important books ever written. This statement is not based on a naiive understanding of what is important in the world and what isn't important. This book and the information contained within is very, very important. If we are to heal Planet Earth and evolve as a species we must confront the truth of what has happened and what is happening right now on the Planet. If the truth is not confronted soon and dealt with the consequences will be catastrophic. To evolve as a species we must solve the problems of abuse of power and violence. It is not a sustainable reality to have a world where violence is tolerated and fostered through ignorance.
Ignorance, Lies and Deceit lead to disconnection, destruction, violence and evil.
Ignorance is never bliss !
We must all try and become more aware of Ourselves, our Planet and our Universe if we are to evolve as a species.
I hope other interested human beings read this review and that it sparks their interest about this book.
Live well.
P.S. One of the other most important books of all time is " The Breakdown of the Bi-Cameral Mind and the Evolution of Conciousness " by Julian Jaynes. See my review at the Amazon Bookstore. Stay tuned to this Bat Channel for more Bat Information on the other Greatest Books of All Time.
Summary of Too Scared To Cry: Psychic Trauma In Childhood
In 1976 twenty–six California children were kidnapped from their school bus and buried alive for motives never explained. All the children survived. This bizarre event signaled the beginning of Lenore Terr?s landmark study on the effect of trauma on children. In this book Terr shows how trauma has affected not only the children she?s treated but all of us.
When children witness or experience sudden, shocking events, how do they assimilate the horror? Terr found they don't simply forget and grow up unscathed. Evidence proves the trauma is recorded and repeatedly replayed by the mind. That these recurring images manifest themselves in different guises is especially intriguing in light of her speculation about repressed trauma in the work of Hitchcock, Stephen King and others. The stories here will break your heart, but Terr's advice for aiding traumatized children can help counter the blows of a violent world.
