After few months i could finally finish this, it wasn’t easy, it made me think a lot, and it definitely gave me a lot of tools to work on, i know my healing path will continue until my last day but I’m happy to see the changes with time. I’m not sure about the negative reviews of the book and the author himself, as from my own perspective it has given me things to work out, ideas to try in the future and many questions so I’m quite thankful i decided to buy it

I’m not sure what to say on this one. It was fascinating and depressing and interesting and upsetting and everything in between. The progress shown in mental health understanding but how much further we have to go. Watching first hand the changes in the VA hospital system over the years made those stories so impactful. Hearing about the work with children and knowing how much pain there is in the world was heartbreaking. I’m glad I read this one.

Parts of the book were textbook dense and I would need to reread this but this book as changed the way I see trauma. Highly recommend it.

He starts off the book by empathizing with some rapist who assaulted women while deployed overseas, just a warning. He explains how the rape was a response to being traumatized in combat.
This book has quite literally changed the way I think about my own mind. I feel like I can make sense of so many things about my personality and why I do the things I do. I would recommend this book to anyone, even people who haven't experienced trauma, as it is an incredibly written book with so many mind blowing discoveries about the human brain.
