What a powerful read! Renowned trauma expert. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk dove deep into trauma, its causes/effects offering a new paradigm to the understanding of trauma.

I like that it highlighted that anxiety can be managed without the help of medications. Proper mindfulness techniques and the changing of habits can work amazingly in battling anxiety.

The book was good at introducing key components of trauma and how it affects us beginning at a young age.

This book was insightful and scientist Dr. Ethan Kross did a magnificent job at story telling about self-talk.
