Moderate: Sexual assault and Sexual violence
I don't know if I'm evaluating the level of these warnings very well and I only have gotten through the beginning of this book. The most important thing to know is he describes the potential aftermath of trauma and the physical/psychological symptoms very well.chelanna22's review against another edition

3.5
This book was eye-opening and really helped me understand and categorize some of my emotions and how I react/respond to things, especially in response to what I now know was a neglectful upbringing.
What I did not like was the detailed trauma/case study the author went into for some of these examples. It may be beneficial detail to a psychologist but I was disturbed by a majority of the ones that I read and did not need those details to comprehend the points the author was making.
