This book was very informative and eye-opening to the ways that trauma impacts how we live our lives and the ways that our current society impacts our wellbeing.
While there is a lot of great information, I felt that some of the concepts were repetitive and could have been shortened a bit to make the book more accessible for more people to read (and be less of a daunting read). However, I feel that you can pick and choose certain chapters if you wish to focus in.
