Story
In this culmination of his life's work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist, and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness, and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions.

Story
In Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction - for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested.

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

It asks and answers an intriguing question: Why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed.

When Bo Seo was 8 years old, he and his family migrated from Korea to Australia. At the time, he did not speak English, and, unsurprisingly, struggled at school. But, then, in fifth grade, something happened to change his life: He discovered competitive debate. Immediately, he was hooked. It turned out, perhaps counterintuitively, that debating was the perfect activity for someone shy and unsure of himself. It became a way for Bo not only to find his voice, but to excel socially and academically.

Excellent book
Excellent, well-written book that covers a lot of ground, including a role of attachment and presents ADD a lot as an attachment disorder, which I find helpful, but others may argue for distinguishing them, which, in fact is often hard to do and this book does a good job at integrating rather then distinguishing the two disorders. On the whole this is a well-balanced book when it comes to bio-psycho-social-spiritual formulation. I truly enjoyed Daniel Mate’s voice and narration, one of the best l have heard on Audible books. Unfortunately, some of the Audible books are narrated by jarring, unpleasant voices that my ADD brain absolutely cannot stand even when I'm genuinely interested in the book itself. Daniel’s voice did a true service to this beautifully written book.

Life changing!!!!
Didn't know that my mother's rageuos beatings caused me this much damage. But why would i suspect that?, such beatings are the gold standard of parenting in Africa. Its sad i discovered this now, imagine if i dicovered this in my earlier years, instead of in my final year of university, at the same time i feel lucky to have discovered this at 21. I have seen first hand how bad adhd can be if it goes untreated. My father was a great lawyer at his peak, he is an absolute mess right now because of this. Lost job, marriage, back with his mother, multiple kids, crippling debts, lost car to pawnshop after years of paying for it. I will try to recommend this book for him and i hope my future wont be the same. Time to start the process of healing.

Excellent book. Really gets you to understand how ADD originates, works and feels
This book has helped me understand how ADD affects my life, my husband’s and my 11 year old daughter. I feel now that I can be much more effective when dealing with everyday issues in relation with my family and with myself. Also to be able to be self compassionate and be compassionate with them rather than judgemental.

A launchpad to self understanding in ADHD
This book is a great start to understanding ADHD for both the parent and Adult.
the author is guilty of sometimes making outlandish statements but usually explains well what he means if you listen further. this is mainly due to him not being able to use proper words always to explain how he feels in short but good at explaining it at length.
I found his techniques quite helpfull in my own life as someone with ADHD. he does take a while to get too ADHD in adults. if it drags listen till the first healing chapter then skip till 27 I think is when he moves from teens too adults.
also very important to take into consideration this book is over 20 years old and in science that is ancient. This book is also Social Science and in Social Science there are no "hard facts" as humans are way to complex for that.
This is why I say this book is a great launchpad. it is not too academic and explains well to the laymen so when you do go on to do further reading you will have a reference of Onder standing instead of getting lost in too much science jargon.
science develops so what he sais is still very much aplicable maybe not to everyone but this field has been built on since then.
anyone complaining that this book is not cited well enough has not had the displeasure of reading a proper scientific book. honestly if you have ADHD and make it through a full scientific audio book I applaud you. I can only do it with a physical copy and speed reading tequinqes as I was taught to read academic articals and the books are worse than the articles.

Age 24, I discover my ADHD thanks to this book.
This is a wonderful read, and a turning point in my life.
Learning this has been a great relief, and is making me hopeful about the future. The narration too helped to bring life to the experiences of sufferers related in the book.
Accepting your flaws is difficult when you don't even understand what exactly you're supposed to accept. Now I do, and I also know how to ask others to accept me, I know in what ways I am different from them, and in what ways my behavior will appear unpredictable and irrational.

Too anecdotal
The author’s claim that ADD may be caused by a disturbance of attachment in infancy and early emotional trauma is interesting insofar as it presents an alternative to the often one-sidedly neuropsychiatric view found in many other books on this topic. However, he is unable to adduce any substantial support for his claims. Instead, he resorts to vast generalizations on the basis of anecdotal evidence and personal experiences. Nonetheless, it does seem to me that his book contains a number of insights.

The knowledge you gain from this book is invaluable.
Such a relief to know that the cause of ADD can be addressed. I only wish the methods needed to facilitate the brain rewiring itself were more clear and concise and less woven into the overall narrative. If you decide to listen to this book, have a pen and paper handy to make notes when the processes are mentioned. Ultimately, you will need a family based therapist to help you rewire if you or your child has ADD, and he explains why.

I can't recommend this book highly enough, as with all Dr. Mate's books he has mixed science with extremely readable material.
I have in quick succession read all of Dr. Mate's books, each one of them has been really illuminating and given me a great deal of food for thought.

Confirmed my Self Diagnosis after listening
Brought the audiobook so I could listen whilst I walked. Could relate to the author as he has ADD as well and had his own personal anecdotes and perspectives Virtually all of the symptoms I could relate to.Some to a lesser degree as over decades I've used different techniques to lessen its impact on me.
Previously I was chunking together pieces of the puzzle blindfolded. Now I've finally have been shown the picture of the jigsaw box.

Mind blowing insight! Not just for ADD, but for everyone !!
Scattered Minds is a must for every parent and should be a ‘legal requirement’ at every Antenatal class. Ha!! This is what parents, families and adults working with children, must know. ASAP!
Dr. Mate, provides sound research, advisories and practical examples of cause/effects solutions. In addition it questions, clarifies and debunks everything you thought you knew-about YOU! So you begin to overstand the relationship between YOU—> You Parent.
The learning process delves not only to your own subconscious needs in relation to your own life, but the transference of these needs or deficiencies into parenting, work and relationships.
The level of learning & information from this book is infinite. As a sensory sensitive, I found the narrator easy to listen to and so the learning from this masterpiece is easy.
Simply Amazing!!

I found this book a ray of light, in beginning to understand what is going on for my son.
Years of going round a pathetic NHS and School system designed only for ‘normal’ people has begun to take its toll. This book has opened my eyes and given me more insight in the few hours I’ve listened, than that of being passed from pillar to post by out of date and under funded institutions.

I enjoyed listening to this book. It provides a very insightful view of ADHD and a balanced view on medication. In terms of other practical advice on what to do to deal with ADHD, the book provides a lot of advice on what not to do, things that are harmful to people with ADHD but it does not provide practical solutions that could be used instead that would help alleviate the barriers caused by ADHD.

I wish I had known about this book 25 years ago...
life changing for me and those close to me. Should be recommended reading for anyone with ADD and anyone that has a relationship with someone with ADD.
Psychiatrists could jump start, if not actually create ongoing benefit with their patients if they read this.
How have I not had this recommended by a single one of them..... ? I guess that proves that we can't rely on them alone for guidance.

Useless - waste of time
The writer claims that impairments is executive function are rooted in mother's anxiety and "bad parenting" and they can be avoided by "unconditional love" and proper parenting. Both these claims strongly conflicts with modern scientific research and clinical studies.

Wise beyond words
This book is life changing for anyone with ADHD. It is uniquely compelling whilst not being new-age. Parental attunement and the lack thereof contribute significantly to ADHD and this causal factor is also the path to healing both brain and heart.

BRILLIANT!!! Essential for ANYONE re ADHD
I cannot praise this book more highly. It is clear, informative, insightful and my only regret is that I did not hear this book 50 years ago.
If more parents and teachers were to read this book, those with ADHD would be saved a huge amount of suffering in their lives.
