challenging dark emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.75

Informative, dense, and to-the-point; addresses trauma’s impact on the individual body + the collective; analysis of current Western medical practices; discussion of society and capitalism as source of mass trauma. Empowering and compassionate read. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
