This book is about mental illness and trauma of every kind imaginable. There are case studies including graphic details, but it is not without meaning. Be gentle with yourself as you read <3allie_love's review against another edition

I think it's also important to know that this author has been accused of mistreating employees, and if you want to avoid that, here you go. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/03/07/allegations-employee-mistreatment-roil-renowned-trauma-center/sWW13agQDY9B9A1rt9eqnK/story.html

I wouldn't recommend this to people who can't or don't want to read about anything that comes to mind in regards to child abuse. Some of the patients' stories are harrowing and I can easily see how this could be very triggering.

Following my diagnosis, I’ve had to wait a few months to engage with therapy services. My n the meantime, reading this book has supported my understanding of PTSD, how it affects me (both physically and mentally), and educated me about approaches to therapy. Knowing how the different therapy approaches work and what is happening in the body/brain has prompted me to seek some other (somewhat more accessible) approaches e.g., yoga, music, meditation; while I’ve waited for access to ongoing psychology therapy.
There’s a bunch of resources and recommended reading, neatly summarised in the appendix. These are separate from the reference list and are accessible to the public (whether you’re learning about your diagnosis, supporting someone with this diagnosis, or just interested).
Moderate: Alcoholism, Domestic abuse, Eating disorder, Medical content, Emotional abuse, Mental illness, Violence, Gun violence, Sexual assault, Self harm, Rape, Adult/minor relationship, Medical trauma, Grief, Abandonment, Addiction, Drug abuse, Murder, Child abuse, Death, Suicide, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Panic attacks/disorders, Physical abuse, War, Sexual violence, and Incest
The aforementioned content warnings are only included as precautions. They are not explicitly investigated or detailed. However they are included to educate about the causes and repercussions of PTSD.ppeynetti's review against another edition
