Excellent resource
I work as a mental health support worker and have found that understanding trauma better has helped me in my role
Should’ve read this years ago.
Everyone in my psych and counselling circles kept banging on about this book and in my usual way I was thinking it’s probably like everything else I have read. Yeah, nah… it’s not. This book is unique and it’s worth the time and investment. Audiobook version is read beautifully, too. Take care if you live with a lot of trauma, and especially if you’re a veteran. This book is kindly and gently written but it also doesn’t muck around describing the brutality of these things exactly as they are experienced by so many of us. Essential reading for the psychology and counselling student/professional, and a high value read for the individual seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and/or loved ones.
It’s a 10 star
One of the best read that explain Trauma so well and gives an understanding, hope and confidence
