However, this book was extremely helpful for me once I was ready to read it and absorb what it had to say. Some survivors who are very deep in their processes of denial and dissociation may need to read the book at a slow pace or come back to it once they have made more leeway in their recovery. I took almost a year to read the book for this reason. Yet once I was ready, it was simple to see myself in the manifestations that Mr. Walker described and presented alternatives to. I feel that the book has grounded me somewhat, and made my trauma easier to understand and therefore able to integrate with my sense of self without allowing it to reign over me. The inclusion of toolkits at the end of the book is especially helpful for people who need immediate relief from their flashbacks, or for readers who wish to reflect on the primary lessons of the book. Since there are more recent books published on this subject I'm not sure this is the greatest one to recommend, although I did find it helpful myself.
