challenging informative

Informative about trauma and its impact on the body, but at times repetitive. Clearly written by an expert in the field as it regularly read like a textbook. That being said, it was interesting to read about a psychiatrist whose first response is not to medicate but rather to help traumatized people to truly work towards healing in a variety of ways. It does lean heavily into PTSD, but does discuss other types of trauma.
