challenging informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

I was assigned to read this book for school, but I am so happy that I read it. Not only was this book a great learning tool for my classes but it's an amazing tool for my career and even every day life. The information presented in this book is extremely valuable.

I found it to be a very easy read; the way that the information was presented was super organized and it was broken down in a way that was extremely easy to grasp and understand. 

I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially to parents or individuals who are working with other people.

Excellent read - very helpful for trying to learn how to take a trauma informed approach in life and work. Loved the style of a conversation and the many examples and stories used to illustrate the data and findings.
