Great read

G - March 2025

Brilliant book
Life altering

Ella - December 2024

I had to buy this book for myself after borrowing my brother-in-law's. Incredibly easy to read despite covering very academic subject matter. Finally makes sense of the mind and bodies' response to trauma and PTSD. Cannot recommend enough
Completely over rated

Tina - September 2024

I purchased this book as it was highly recommended. More of a doctors biography and a lot of reference back to soldiers and little help for cptsd . As a woman looking to learn about trauma and where we fit into the world and society we his offers little insight a very drawn out read.
