challenging dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

A hard read but super inspiring and eye opening about the way trauma affects people and different ways to cope with intense trauma. Not a fix all to problems but a great place to start in order to rebuild your mental health.

I cried so many times, so many interesting chapters. The audiobook made the patients' stories so very powerful. I will be buying this book in print for sure.
