I read the audiobook, which to me, made the book even more enjoyable. It was like sitting down to coffee with Dr. Perry and Oprah. A true treat. An audiobook for podcast lovers.

while i knew a lot of this stuff already bc of my psych background, i feel like i learned a lot of really valuable things about trauma and its clinical manifestations. this was definitely kid-based and at many points read as a guide for teachers and educators on trauma awareness and treatment. i wish it had focused a bit more on trauma in adults and the mechanisms of healing, rather than just the effects of trauma.
I LOVED THE AUDIOBOOK FOR THIS. oprah and dr. perry had such good audiobook voices and i felt like i was listening to a really fire podcast.
overall pretty fabulous, a little below my knowledge level because i’m in school for this kind of thing, but such a game changer for anyone who doesn’t know much about how trauma can affect the mind and behaviors. and now i’m bffs with oprah and dr. perry so there’s that too.

This book was chock full of information about how our brains work and how crucial the first few months of our lives are. If this book had been around in 2012 it would have helped me better understand what my baby needed from me and how I needed help to give it to them.
Even if you don’t think you’ve experienced anything traumatic in your life, you should still read this book.
