This book took me a long time to read, as the first section has every trigger warning under the sun, and didn’t fit my habit of reading before bed. But, it taught me an incredible amount about things I have experienced and how my brain functions (or doesn’t) as well as better understanding the impacts of trauma on my friends and family and society as a whole. It is both practical, a fascinating look into the changing field of trauma treatment and science, and filled with hope. 

My only downsides of the book was that it was pretty emphatic about some of the treatment options, not that I disagree with them, but it would have been interesting to hear more variations or other schools of thought… but I guess that will take further reading. Even with that, it’s one of the best books I have ever read.

Great book for those interested in the psychology and treatment of trauma. I personally found it incredibly useful in navigating my own recovery from a traumatic experience in my life.
Can occasionally be triggering, has a lot of unwarned mentions of sexual abuse, neglect, traumatic events, etc.
