Wow. What a book — each chapter brings forth its own unique perspective to trauma and the ways it can manifest. Perry leaves this not for the faint of heart but also curates these stories in a respectful manner. As a future counselor, although many of these cases will be rare or nonexistent occurrences in my work, it’s still important to know this view of trauma and be trauma-informed in practice.

A paraphrase of a quote that I saw on social media sums this book up for me - trauma changes the brain, but healing changes the brain too.
