This is a book that I’ll be holding onto and rereading many times throughout my life. It explains so much about me to me. Hopefully, I can use this trauma wisdom, as it’s called in the book, to be more helpful to those in my world and to be more connected and to create more connectedness. Oprah is Oprah for good reason!

Excellent read - very helpful for trying to learn how to take a trauma informed approach in life and work. Loved the style of a conversation and the many examples and stories used to illustrate the data and findings.
