3/5 solid stars. Audiobook. I found that The Body Keeps the Score was much more in-depth as far as information on trauma goes. This book is more anecdotal and shares a lot of stories from Oprah and from Dr. Perry. The audiobook is nice because they go back and forth talking. I liked the dialogue. I also liked their idea of replacing "what is wrong with you?" with "what happened to you?". Personally, I find this a good way to show compassion to those in my life who have major issues. It has been a way for me to practice understanding. Overall, I would recommend, but I think it would be a good starter book for exploring trauma and readers could then work their way towards The Body Keeps the Score and other books on that topic.
