This book represents the life’s work of a Psychiatrist trying to unravel and heal trauma. It unfolds the experience of trauma in a way that makes it accessible to people who have not lived in a traumatised body. This book would be quintessential in my opinion to any health professional working with trauma patients. Very glad i’ve read it although it could feel a bit slow at times.
Graphic: Rape and Child abuse
Minor: Car accident, Grief, Child abuse, and Rape
