i... am speechless. i've only read the first chapter so far... and i think this book is already starting to take apart everything i thought i knew about abuse. & not just that, it's really starting to make me introspect every relationship in my personal life and tbh i think it's only going to get tougher to read because of that

"Police data, too, shows that domestic abuse is Australia’s number one law and order problem: every two minutes, police are called out to domestic incidents. Now, as you digest that statistic, consider that more than 80 per cent of women living underground today have never reported to police. Imagine if they all started reporting."

i would like for every single person who took johnny depp's side blindly and vehemently and frothed at the mouth when "amber got what she deserved" to fucking read this book before they open their mouths ever again.

"C-PTSD is not a disorder, in the classic sense of the word. It is an identity that has formed around defence and survival – a genius adaptation by the child to survive physically and psychologically."

Having read Bessel van der Kolk's book 'The Body Keeps the Score' and now reading what this book has to say abt C-PTSD... I can't fucking believe that it still isn't in the DSM. Fuck this.

"When testosterone rises after a challenge, it doesn’t prompt aggression. ‘Instead,’ writes Sapolsky, ‘it prompts whatever behaviors are needed to maintain status.’ In other words, testosterone is not an aggression hormone – it is a status-seeking hormone. (...) And today, there may be no greater status for men than the appearance of being in control."
