Really helpful!

I loved how Instaread analyzed each key takeaway and explored their meaning. The section on how traumatic events create a different kind of memory was especially enlightening. It is scary to think that when you remember a traumatic event, you are virtually reliving the experience.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is directly or indirectly affected by trauma. It is helpful to know what is normal and what isn't.

Favorite key point.

My favorite key takeaway has to be number 9. In it we learn that a lack of understanding of DTD can cause those children that are afflicted to miss out on effective treatments that would have allowed them to lead a more fulfilling life. I have to say I could have used this read years ago and as a result of reading this book, I will most definitely be looking more closely into it now. It is amazing to me how school budgets play such a significant role on whether a child receives treatment or not. There are a few more brief chapters but what I liked even more than those were the references at the end, especially number three where it talks about a comparison of dramatic memory characteristics with memory for other emotional experiences. By the way, there are a whopping 13, very current references, so you will have plenty to follow up on.

Beyond the measure.

The author of the actual book was the individual responsible for identifying PDSD and was able to help those who were afflicted by it. But it doesn’t stop there, I was shocked to learn of a disorder called DTD or Developmental Trauma Disorder, which can involve traumas such as growing up with an alcoholic parent and experiencing molestation. The key takeaway gives this info in a well-developed summary at the beginning of the read and then takes the reader into the important people such as the Dr. who discovered all of this amazing information and some of his patients before jumping right into a summary and then a more in-depth look at 9 key takeaways.
