3.0

This book was very interesting and I learned a lot about myself. However, I found it incredibly hard to get through as the content is very dense. It reminded me of my psychology textbooks from when I was in university. I recommended this book to those willing to put in the work and time to read it.

Pad: author is rumored to be an asshole and cbt therapy is still excellent, but otherwise this book is life changing. Explicit depictions of violent trauma occurs regularly

This book was absolutely transformative to read. I learned so much about trauma’s lasting effects on the brain and body, and many of the ways that we can go about healing the trauma and lessening the damaging effects of it. As a result of reading this book, I was inspired to seek help regarding my own childhood trauma.
