When Gabor Mat\u00e9 was in his 40s and a successful doctor in Vancouver, Canada, he struggled with depression and strained relationships. Picking up \u201cThe Drama of the Gifted Child,\u201d by Alice Miller, was the first step to understanding the root of his problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cA good book gives you a map to yourself,\u201d said Dr. Mat\u00e9, now a trauma researcher and author of \u201cThe Myth of Normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

While reading Dr. Miller\u2019s book, his experiences started to make sense. \u201cMy depression, my self-loathing,\u201d he explained, were a result of early childhood trauma.<\/p>\n

Trauma is a deeply distressing experience that leaves lasting effects on a person\u2019s thoughts, emotions and behavior. It rewires both the body and mind<\/a> and shapes overall health. Research shows, however, that the right tools can help us regulate our emotions and rebuild a sense of safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Many people are hungry for books that explore trauma: Dr. Bessel van der Kolk\u2019s \u201cThe Body Keeps the Score\u201d has sold more than three million copies globally and spent more than six years total on the New York Times best-seller list. <\/strong>But there are other works that can help us make sense of negative experiences.<\/p>\n

The five titles below were recommended by neuroscientists, psychologists and trauma specialists as sources to help you understand and process trauma.<\/p>\n
