It’s impossible not to read (or listen) to this book and not take a copious amount of notes. I rewound multiple times. It weaves the neuroscience in well, and I was able to visualize the descriptions. I like that it leans more heavily to Dr. Perry, with Oprah chiming in; otherwise it might have made it a little clinical. 

Examples will give you something to relate to, and the teasing out of it all will make you feel like you aren’t alone. They don’t give you so much to the point that you should self-diagnose, but do give you things to chew on and recall your own memories to see if they’re applicable. This is great to read if you’re also looking into/doing IFS or shadow work.
