What a surprising read. This would be a book of the year for me. It gives a comprehensive look into human trauma. I found it very insightful and, in parts, mind-blowing. While the book looks into severe traumas, I learned a lot about the processes of a human brain and body. I believe those processes are always present in us, not just during traumas.
I found the book very dense and heavy to read. It is full of real-life examples that I was definitely not expose to, which I found very disturbing but grounding. It reminded me of Man's Search for Meaning book.
Everyone will experience trauma, meet people who carry it and may even cause it for others. It may not always be as severe as PTSD, but it can nonetheless cause a great deal of pain. I'd recommend this book to get better understanding and context about trauma.
