However (and this is because I have a personal interest) I do wish that this book delved a bit more into CPTSD and how that affects the body as well and how that compares to other forms of trauma and I would find that useful.

As someone who's undergone therapy and addressed my triggers, I was comfortable reading this. I would caution folks with serious triggers to read the trigger warnings as there are descriptions of the violence many of his patients experienced. I found it very important to understand, though. And encourage folks who have responses to what they've read to explore the therapies that worked for the patient he described.
I really appreciated the nuanced approach to discussing medication. The author described his personal experiences working in the mental health field as drugs were being developed, and how drugs CAN help, but are not a perfect solution for a myriad of reasons. I found that portion very insightful.
