Following my diagnosis, I’ve had to wait a few months to engage with therapy services. My n the meantime, reading this book has supported my understanding of PTSD, how it affects me (both physically and mentally), and educated me about approaches to therapy. Knowing how the different therapy approaches work and what is happening in the body/brain has prompted me to seek some other (somewhat more accessible) approaches e.g., yoga, music, meditation; while I’ve waited for access to ongoing psychology therapy.
There’s a bunch of resources and recommended reading, neatly summarised in the appendix. These are separate from the reference list and are accessible to the public (whether you’re learning about your diagnosis, supporting someone with this diagnosis, or just interested).

The aforementioned content warnings are only included as precautions. They are not explicitly investigated or detailed. However they are included to educate about the causes and repercussions of PTSD.ppeynetti's review against another edition

Important read on the holistic take on health - the book show's there's no way to separate menthal health from physical health.
It only slightly touches the topic of politics in the health sector here and there, which is part of the problem - since trauma and PTSD are a public health problem - but maybe that could be a whole other book.
Be aware of the content warnings, the book is explicit.
