I really liked this book, I like when I’m explained the hows and whys for things I do and am and this did that really well.
It’s like a crash course for trauma in a really digestible way.

Excellent read

Explanations of brain functioning during and after trauma woven in with real life examples. Must read for teachers, expectant parents, foster parents, victim advocates, public defenders, healthcare professionals.

Very interesting and thought provoking. I really wanted to dive into these subjects and reactions. It was a bit scary too, I saw some of myself in these examples. I have issues, as we all do but a couple of these hit the mark and I had that AHA moment. I would really love a more in depth look into this theory. Fantastic audiobook, well read easy to follow

This took me a while to finish because of the research heavy section. Once i was in a more focused mindset it was actually very enlightening and I learned a lot about how important it is to reframe questions we ask ourselves and others. "What happened to you?" usually explains why someone is acting the way that they are and that does not define who you are as a person forever but rather what you might need to look into healing.
