“I came across this book in Canada when attending a Bruce Perry symposium. I am a social worker who treats adults, children and clinicians affected by Trauma. Whilst the book covers a broad range of traumatising issues, its strength is in its explanation of how trauma experiences affect people’s thoughts, feelings, and body symptoms. It is a playful, accurate and easily digestible book suitable for all ages. It is strengths, resilience and recovery focussed. It deserves a place in every clinician’s library.. with some extras to share!
I recommend it very highly!”
