书籍介绍
为何医学越来越发达,慢性病与心理危机却越发普遍?
隐形的心理创伤如何悄然侵蚀我们一生的健康?
我们习以为常的“正常生活”竟是滋养疾病的温床?
本书以震撼的跨学科视角,揭示了一个颠覆认知的真相:疾病并非偶然的个体悲剧,而是压力文化通过心理创伤催生的必然产物。从婴儿期的情感断联到成年后的自我压抑,从免疫系统的“叛乱”到各种疾病的“隐喻性”爆发,作者用神经科学、心理学与真实病例证明——创伤会改写基因表达,压力能重塑生理结构,而社会对效率与完美的病态追求,正让我们集体陷入身心分离的困境。
书中尖锐指出:身心割裂的主流医学范式,掩盖了情绪、人际关系与文化环境对健康的决定性作用。代际传递的创伤、情感隔离的社会规训、人的工具化、职场权力的隐形伤害……这些“看不见的流行病”正在悄然瓦解我们的生命力。但绝望中藏着希望:通过重新联结真实自我、修复人际纽带、挑战扭曲的社会叙事,每个人都能开启心与身的疗愈之旅。

- "To map the hard and inhospitable terrain from which addiction springs, it's worth asking the people who have traversed it. Listening to their lived experiences leaves one with no confusion about what needs to be soothed, and why. We lack the space to chronicle all the tragic origin stories of the ma"
- "It may surprise many to learn that no drug is in itself addictive, not even the most notorious “high risk” ones like crack or methamphetamine. Most people who try drugs, any drug, even repeatedly, never become addicted. The reasons why throw further light on the nature of addiction."

Such is the overweening economic and cultural influence of the U.S. throughout the world that, as "

For this stratum of society, even conflict is not such a source of stress - in any struggle, the greater the power, the less the threat.
