Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker

4.0

Normally I read books from page one straight to the end but, admittedly, I've been bouncing around a bit and only reading the relevant chapters which has been a nice change of pace. Everyone should read chapter 5 in particular. I appreciate the author's conversational tone because it didn't feel preachy. He explained things clearly, offered real examples/scenarios, as well as advice and possible “solutions”. This was the first time I had heard of the term “fawning” and it was a huge revelation for me. Highly recommend this book!!
