A good listen. This is a good book for those who are just starting out on their healing journey. As for those with trauma who have already started getting involved with their healing (therapy, etc) this book may feel slightly redundant or not as informative. A good read nonetheless.

comraderowan94's review against another edition

medium-paced

3.5

The book is very informative about how trauma affects the brain and the lasting impact that can have, but when discussing systemic issues, the authors gloss over the roll a capitalist society plays in the difficulties of recovery. The authors also need a more nuanced approach when discussing societal issues or need to be more specific about which social groups they’re addressing.
