Definitely a heavy read and one that trauma survivors should tread lightly reading.

It's now 10 years old so I'm sure (hope?) the research has moved on considerably but it was an insightful read and a subject I would like to read more into.

This was recommend to me by my therapist after I was recently diagnosed with PTSD. It has so much fantastic information, and it makes my life experiences make so much sense. It was quite difficult to get through at times; it covers a lot of heavy topics and stories of trauma, but it’s absolutely worth reading.

Conforting and informative with the kind of information all people deserve access to. If repetitive and run-on at times, this was a fantastic resource for self reflection and hope.

This book is about mental illness and trauma of every kind imaginable. There are case studies including graphic details, but it is not without meaning. Be gentle with yourself as you read <3
