I wish I could have read this book 11 years ago when I was a first time mom struggling with PPD and PTSD after a traumatic birth. 

This book was chock full of information about how our brains work and how crucial the first few months of our lives are. If this book had been around in 2012 it would have helped me better understand what my baby needed from me and how I needed help to give it to them. 

Even if you don’t think you’ve experienced anything traumatic in your life, you should still read this book.

This is a book that I’ll be holding onto and rereading many times throughout my life. It explains so much about me to me. Hopefully, I can use this trauma wisdom, as it’s called in the book, to be more helpful to those in my world and to be more connected and to create more connectedness. Oprah is Oprah for good reason!
