The Five Levers of PTSD recounts the author's story of how he developed PTSD via a series of concussions and a traumatic childhood. He also presents a theory of PTSD in stark contrast to the current psychological model: PTSD is a result of Traumatic Brain Injury.
A system is also put forth that may allow those suffering from PTSD, anxiety and depression to improve their symptoms through the use of neurologically based exercises and the implementation of a ketogenic diet.
This book is the result of ten years of study in neuroanatomy as well as emerging fMRI research in neuroscience. Information is presented on dysfunction of different neural structures in relation to PTSD in a way that the lay person with no background in neurology can understand. Those with a background in neurology will also gain valuable insights from Jordan's years of experience applying these principles to clients.
