Incredible read for self and community!

I’ve learnt so much about myself, trauma processing and building empathy for those around me. This book is comprehensive and practical even to a layman. It is a mirror to the reader and best read with an open mind, honest self reflection and hopefully will inspire A desire to heal oneself.

Recommend this 100%

Heaven ,t read or listened to any book on trauma before . Read on psychologie/ neuropsychology/ .

I think it is a must read for anybody who is interested in psychologie and trauma .
It is really well lived well researched and on top off the game and still easy to read as a layman.

A must read for all

A deeply emotional book that is equally driven by science and research. Powerful beyond words, easily the best book I’ve ever read.

Must read for health practioners.

Understanding that pain and suffering can be explained and treated from a traumatic point of view is really helpful and insightful. This text opened my eyes to new ways to approach psychological pain in my own healing process as well as in my therapeutic process.

Life changing, but really life changing!

Finally I saw a realistic and efficient set of tools to deal with ptsd 😄. Great book

Lifesaving Listen

This really helped me to better understand and deal with my personal trauma. I can recommend this book to anyone who has been through many doctors and mental health specialists, but is still suffering, not knowing where to turn and what is going on in their body and mind. I also think this could help if mental health care is inaccessible to you and you want to help yourself. This book has given me direction in my healing journey and has helped me get away from feeling like healing is not possible for me and that there is just something "wrong with me'". I am so grateful for the series of events that led to me listening to this book.

Everyone should read / listen to this book

Factfulness was a book highly recommended by Bill Gates to every MBA student.

I recommend this book about human trauma to EVERYONE. We don’t acknowledge, talk about, or teach anything like enough about this. Most people experiencing it have no idea it’s a common thing to humanity. They think it’s a unique, terrible thing about who they are themselves. Not realising, not recognising, what it is, they have no way to deal with it. A society that recognised and taught its members about this, would both better prepare people for dealing with its eventuality, but also, crucially, reduce incidence. So much trauma is caused by people who ‘know not what they do’. The trauma children and victims of violence feel is mostly invisible to the perpetrators. They are lost in their own ignorant, narrow minds. This book would teach a lot of people how to be better human beings. Not by injunction, but through perceiving the truth of so many people’s suffering in all its many manifestations. The real beauty of this book is not in the theories and science which it also demonstrates, but in the fact of giving light to so much unknown suffering. It is not depressing to hear about other’s suffering. Their suffering is as much a fact of the world we live in as the air and water and sunlight. Don’t we want clean air and water, and beautiful sunshine? Unless we face the facts of what human life really is, we cannot hope to do anything about its problems. Thank you Dr. Van Der Kolk for your dedication to this cause. I wish and hope I can do something as worthwhile too.

Brillantly intelligent path to recovery

Excellent learning and inspiring book which gives hope to the many unfortunate humans who suffer from various trauma. A superb approach using various natural methods of healing away from medication.,, i salute Psychiatrist Bessel Van Der Kolk for his many researchs and open mind in exploring various possible ways to help others.

trauma and learning how to deal with so many different forms of how it presents - immediately and years later

Fascinating book, I have learnt so much and hope I can help in someway to reduce PTSD and help myself and others manage our expression of our experiences
