This story was interesting it was just very slow for my taste.
When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön

inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
3.75
Currently, I would give this book 5 stars. I believe if literally read while -things are falling apart- 5 stars. Perhaps when it doesn’t hit so hard to your current life, 3.75 stars, still very good.

Very helpful in untangling a lot of what is wrapped into trauma. This book is specific to shock trauma but it was still very informative. More useful then body keeps the score in my opinion.
