Essential reading for anyone who is at the point in recovery where they are ready to reckon with the full extent of their traumatic injury. Take it slow.

challenging hopeful informative slow-paced

For a book that was written a while ago, so much information in here is still relevant. The afterword had some good updates, and I think it could benefit from incorporating more inclusive research in a future revision. Also get Bessel van der Kolk out of here.
