As a therapist, I’d recommend this book to someone who has done some trauma healing work and exploration already - I think it doesn’t have enough focus on the way trauma can affect your automatic responses (like hypervigilance, dissociation, nightmares, etc.) I think it has a lot of great info on on getting unstuck and moving forward after trauma, such as identifying your values, moving past self-shaming, and improving relationships.

I can't remember when I read this...sometime last year, I think. This book hasn't altered my clinical work dramatically, I would say, since the connections between ACT and trauma in my mind were already pretty clear, but it's a nice workbook for patients and I do use it regularly. I wish there was a little more data on ACT for trauma, but I think it'll trickle in over time. The main thing I wish the author attended to with a bit more care is how to do mindfulness-based work with people who really struggle with hyperarousal and/or dissociation.
