Now, leading experts in the field have a radical new understanding of post-traumatic stress . . . and a surprising new treatment to reverse it could have profound implications for medicine, mental health, and society.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. However, top trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a \u003ci\u003ephysical injury\u003c\/i\u003e—and while invisible to the naked eye, the posttraumatic stress injury (PTSI) can now be seen on a scan. Most importantly, the effects of PTSI are \u003ci\u003ereversible\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the sympathetic nervous system, controlling the fight-or-flight response. Anyone who has endured trauma, including long-term microdoses of emotional stress, can have this injury. Dr. Lipov has pioneered a safe, 15-minute procedure that reverses the injury, relieving mild to extreme symptoms of PTSI—irritability, hypervigilance, anxiety, insomnia, and more—for survivors to combat soldiers to the everyday person. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving hard science with moving human stories, \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Machine \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoauthored by artist and innovator Jamie Mustard and in collaboration with writer Holly Lorincz, \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Machine \u003c\/i\u003eweaves hard science with moving stories of warriors, prisoners, and ordinary people to provide a stark new understanding of the human condition. The implications for a better, pain-free world are astounding—and that world could be nearer than we think.“The nervous system can be reset. The significance of that, recognized by the legal system and by the medical profession, would be revolutionary.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Gabor Maté, MD, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eIn the Realm of Hungry Ghosts\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Normal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “In \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Machine\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eLipov and Mustard rewrite the recovery narrative for many who have experienced personal disruptions and life compromises. Through personal stories we learn that traumatic experiences may lock the nervous system into a chronic state of defense and fight-flight behaviors, while compromising feelings of safety and sociality. The Lipov treatment gives permission to retune, enabling one to return to sociality, playfulness, and social connection.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Stephen W.

A graduate of the London School of Economics, Jamie's work is an explanation of the \"economics of attention,\" based on the primal laws of human perception. He has spoken, educated, and inspired others with his work prolifically, including TED at the creative giant, Wieden and Kennedy and has guest lectured at Parsons The New School, Georgetown University, and Pratt Institute. Jamie's Iconist work has spanned some of the world's leading companies—Cisco, Nike, Adidas, Intel—leaders, change-agents, artists, and the globe.
