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.

 To me, someone who isn't dealing with (C)PTSD, overall very informative; some chapters more than others. And if I take anything from this book, it's that I really should work on doing yoga regulary because there are only benefits from doing it.

I wouldn't recommend this to people who can't or don't want to read about anything that comes to mind in regards to child abuse. Some of the patients' stories are harrowing and I can easily see how this could be very triggering.
