Not without it’s faults, but this book and line of thinking has been enlightening. It’s interesting because this is something I’ve thought about a lot in the past few years. I enjoyed learning more

I love having a new way to reframe things I’ve always known but had never heard put into the right words to have the right impact.

I would highly recommend this book to just about everyone. It is a helpful review of the neuroscience of trauma alongside the personal experience of trauma, and does a wonderful job explaining the many facets of traumatic experiences- from the neurobiology to communal responses to therapeutic interventions. I was pleasantly surprised by the awareness of colonial thinking and westernized perspectives, and appreciated Dr. Perry’s appreciation, admiration, and acceptance of indigenous healing practices. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars was that I found it a little too cheesy at times. Would highly recommend the audiobook, as it is a conversation between the two authors, and very easy to listen to and understand, unlike many other popular neuroscience books.
