This book is literally so so good

This book is very interesting, very academic. I’m finally at the “solutions” aspect of the book after taking a needed break from the text. Glad I am taking the effort to pick it back up, but it’s certainly dense. But, I can tell it’s genuinely researched and now reading about solutions with the background of knowing the brain mechanisms of trauma is very enlightening.

I have been actually laughing out loud at this book. As someone who works in a corporate-ish work setting structured similar to Hollywood production - I totally relate to so many of the sentiments in this. Plus it’s hilarious. And I’m inspired to take things only as seriously as they need to be taken at work.

This book is very academic, talking about parts of the brain and how they impact our body and emotional responses to trauma. Really great insight in to how to the brain and trauma work. Examples are focused on veterans and I don’t see much intersectionality considered yet in the book
