I would highly recommend this book to just about everyone. It is a helpful review of the neuroscience of trauma alongside the personal experience of trauma, and does a wonderful job explaining the many facets of traumatic experiences- from the neurobiology to communal responses to therapeutic interventions. I was pleasantly surprised by the awareness of colonial thinking and westernized perspectives, and appreciated Dr. Perry’s appreciation, admiration, and acceptance of indigenous healing practices. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars was that I found it a little too cheesy at times. Would highly recommend the audiobook, as it is a conversation between the two authors, and very easy to listen to and understand, unlike many other popular neuroscience books.

I really loved this book, the audiobook is incredible. 
I learned a lot, even as a med student, there are things that we don´t know or don´t even investigate that much. It was amazing, and it took a complex topic and made them understandable. I would recommend this book for everyone, it can be a bit overwhelming at times. But it's worth it. 
I not only learned so much about the brain and development, but I was able to translate that to my real life. I understand and empathize more with people around me, and about myself. I understand myself a little better now. 
I'll read this book again in the future because I don't think that I would get the most of it from reading it only once. 
I don't agree with everything that was written on the book, but I still loved it and would recommend it.
