This book was too much for me.  I am interested in how trauma affects people, both mentally and physically.  I am interested in approaches to treatment that are effective and cutting edge. I am particularly interested in how professionals (doctors, teachers, counsellors, clergy, and more) can perform their jobs through a trauma-informed lens. This book spent too much time detailing graphic details of trauma and insufficient time giving pragmatic information about how to aid people in our lives living through trauma.  Disappointing.

this book was... a lot. i don't think i was necessarily in the right headspace to read it at this time. but it covered so many interesting issues, and i liked how it discussed different treatment methods. but also this book made me nauseous so... idk.
