4.0

this was a little hard to get through but super interesting! i struggled a little with the centering of veterans but i feel like this is more aimed at therapists (who have to treat all patients with compassion) than potential clients so i understand i don’t need to be comfortable with everything in here. overall this was so insightful and made me reflect a lot so i personally got a lot from this book, however, there is a lot of triggering content so i do advise proceeding with caution. it’s not perfect and there’s a lot of controversy surrounding the author but i still going it worth reading.

This book is truly extraordinary, I love it so much as someone recently reliving a trauma through nightmares and flashbacks this book has been so validating and helpful.
