If you’re looking to learn a lot of trauma and therapy, this is a great book. It can be pretty upsetting though, given that most chapters feature 1-2 case stories about horrifyingly traumatic events.

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.
