I loved this book. It was informative, entertaining, accessible to read and followed a narrative that made sense. It was a powerful argument for alternative treatments of trauma. It was well-written, and thoroughly researched. I could clearly sense that the author was very passionate about this topic and also very knowledgeable. A must-read for anybody working in mental or physical healthcare.
