This book was easy to read and insightful especially if you are type of reader that like facts instead of bunches of comforting words about feelings. It covered all topics from body reations to medicine and cognitive theropy.
But, knowing that there is hope and by more understanding that the trauma doesn't have
to control your life.

THIS BOOK HAS NO TRAUMATIC STORIES.
It is an intelligent, insightful, informative way to help those who are dealing with trauma learn about it and help themselves move on. The content is written in such a way that it is easy to stop without becoming overwhelmed, so for that I'd give it a big thumbs up.
The only reason I was considering giving it four stars instead of five is that some of the chapter topics are skimmed over so briefly they can be difficult to understand without further research and re-reading several times. If you're reading with your therapist (mine bought the book to read it together) that helps alleviate a lot of the confusion, so I'd definitely recommend that if you can do it.
This is the only book on trauma that has often left me with a smile on my face when I closed it instead of a frown, so that is a huge feat when dealing with something as terrifying as trauma!
The author writes with such compassion that you truly feel valued as a reader. Definitely worth buying!!!
I am healing PTSD and DID and this book has been a great tool for me. It has helped me inaddition to my therapy, and has also helped me to participate more fully in my own self healing.
This book lives up to that title, absolutely.
Thank you, Jasmin, for writing such a helpful, life-saving book!
