Has anyone read this book? Seems to be a "bible" of trauma and trauma sequelae.
Would be interesting to hear if you liked the book and if it helped you in any way.

That is absolutely correct. As I said, I haven't read it but what you say is true, I learned it from diffrent other authors/trauma pioneers.I haven't read it but my understanding of it is basically that, you might not remember, but your body physically does. It can physically store the trauma even if it's deep down in your psyche.
In the past I read a lot. But since 10 years it is really difficult for me. My brain like the www too much and that destroyed my focus for longer books I think. So I listen very often to speakers on YouTube.@Regen I have a hard time reading, too. I just read slowly and just the chapters that are interesting for me.
(Are you German speaking?)
I've read it. It very accurately describes the long lasting impact that trauma has on the body, and the physical symptoms that are experienced even long after the traumatic event. It explains how trauma can be attributed to high states of tension and panic attacks (even in safe settings) because the body feels like it still needs to react to a threat. I have PTSD myself and have found this book helpful and validating at times. It doesn't make the past experience any better, but at least it gives more understanding.![]()

I can imagine it's not the easiest book to read....I have been reading through it, I thought it was helpful. Not a casual read to me, it's pretty dense.
I've read it and found it both helpful and extremely interesting. I'd recommend this book. Oh and the mental health professinals seem to like it. They were pleased when I said I'd read it.![]()
