So I think we have officially entered the mumbo jumbo portion of the book. So many different studies cited, so many different treatments suggested for so many different things, some things that feel outdated (repressed memory recovery therapy feels very 80-90s to me) that I feel like the biggest take away from this behemoth is that trauma is bad and brains are hella complicated.

This is a slow, dense read and I’m having a hard time moving through it because I have to stop and process everything. Also, he uses heavy stories that are emotionally difficult to read. I think it will be worth it though.
