The Score (Off-Campus Book 3)

Product Information

What I really enjoyed about this offering was the character development. I didn’t always like Fletch in the previous tale.. his emotions didn’t scream gritty gangster to me.. but added to this offering I understand him so much better now, it’s family.. you’ll do anything for those you love.

Understanding an adversity as a trauma implies that it overwhelms our capacity to cope and is likely to have lasting effects. In the popular mind, trauma still carries a connotation of indelibility. The Score is the best book of the Off-Campus series yet, and that’s saying something. Elle Kennedy has truly outdone herself this time.Once again the reader is reunited with the fantastic Fletch, who was originally introduced in "The Price." After reading "The Score" Fletch has become my favourite character of the books I have read by Kerry Kaya. Dangerous, mysterious but also incredibly likeable. I found myself questioning if I have a bit of a fictional crush on him. He defines the phrase "Bad Boy."

Later editions of the diagnostic manual loosened the definition to include unpleasant events witnessed indirectly, which are not physically endangering. The effects of trauma live on not only in the emotional mind and the chemical makeup and circuitry of the brain, but also in the body’s physiology. Traumatic experiences rewire the brain to cause people to be hypervigilant to threats: The slightest hint of a threat sends trauma sufferers into a fight-or-flight response, triggering stress hormones to flood their bodies and keep them in a state of hyperarousal long after the perceived threat is gone. Over time, hypervigilance and hyperarousal cause physical ailments and hamper trauma sufferers’ ability to function emotionally and socially. Trauma’s Impact on the Mind I have loved gangland/gangster type books for years but have never read Kaya before, until this one. I am currently struggling with my reading mojo, personal life stuff, but this managed to yank me out for a bit. Fletch done his crime (avenged his wee brother) and now he is out, he left behind his mrs and two young kids, a boy and a girl. A twenty year stretch is a long time but he left plenty to ensure his family would be set. His girl moved on and his kids grew up, Fletch has no idea what has went down in his absence and not everyone is happy Fletch is out.Trauma has become one of those broad psychological terms that is often thrown around but seldom truly understood; even in the field of psychiatry, trauma has historically been a nebulous term with a wide range of symptoms and treatments. In The Body Keeps the Score, the author explores how the understanding and treatment of trauma has evolved as new technologies, research, and fields of science emerged. The goal of treatment is to regain control of yourself and your thoughts, feelings, and body. Generally, this involves four steps: The argument that broad concepts of trauma produce fragility rests on the belief that defining moderate life challenges as mind-shattering traumas might undermine our resilience.

If you are looking for a gangland crime thriller read then you really need to have a look at this book from Kerry Kaya. It has a very addictive brutal side as well as being very twisted. Recognizing the physical sensations in your body—as basic as feeling cold or hungry—is at the core of your sense of self, but for most people it’s so natural that you probably don’t even think about it. Use this exercise to notice your body awareness.

When we first met Allie as Hannah’s roommate, it was hard not to fall a little bit in love with her. She was the best friend that Hannah needed. She protected her at parties, she pushed her to try new things, and most importantly, she was there for Hannah when she needed her. Allie continues to show those qualities in this book, only this time, she’s pushing and protecting herself. That rise has been even more dizzying within the mental health professions, a recent study finding that “trauma” appeared at an almost 20 times higher rate in psychology journal articles in the 2010s as it did in the 1970s. In 2022, in the New York Times, Jessica Bennett asked “if everything is trauma, is anything?” and denounced “post-traumatic hyperbole”. Lexi Pandell, writing for Vox, argued this “word of the decade” has become close to meaningless.
