Sometimes very hard to read the stories of trauma written here. But the new developments on how to help people deal with those traumas especially in the final five chapters of the book are just incredible. It makes me want to study those techniques more!

Alll the trigger warnings before delving into this one--be sure you're in a good state of mind, for sure. Really interesting exploration of trauma. Could've been a bit less graphic in some of the examples.

Slightly triggering, but very informative. Major focus on war, childhood and sexual assault PTSD rather than relational. Very repetitive.
