Brilliant for all

I have just starred to listen to this again as part of my personal trauma I don’t always take things in first time.
Saying that, this book is brilliant i and can totally relate and while I’m waiting for a therapist appointment it has helped me understand myself and the ball rolling on recovering. I now no longer feel like I’m going crazy 😀

Helped me gain insight into trauma

As I struggle to read, this audio book has been great.
Very relevant information, very clearly presented and eloquently read. Thank you.

Amazing Resource

This book is a much more in-depth version of Janina Fischers workbook (Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma: A Workbook for Survivors and Therapists). May be start there if you are a beginner or less interested in details and purely want coping mechanisms. However, if you quite academic and/or are looking for a deep dive into some of your behaviours I highly recommend. I have never seen such accurate description of my symptoms, set out in such a methodical way. However, I have found these accurate descriptions, particularly of self-soothing behaviour, unsettling at times. I have a therapist and so can discuss these situations with them. I read with care but am so grateful to have such a valuable resource to help me navigate my world of trauma.

Excellent book, robotic narration

This book is beyond excellent. So well written and researched. Every psychologist and therapist should read it and then read it again. I love having access to it as an audiobook, however, WHY are so many brilliant books narrated by robotic sounding people?! It makes them so much harder to listen to. This one isn’t as bad as some others, but still can be tough at times.

Great approach

It seems that we're moving towards a more accepting and compassionate rationale that clearly evidences the effects of trauma on the individual and shows the steps we can take to become whole again

Integration

This is an excellent and very comprehensive book, which is very clear and descriptive for therapists in particular. I enjoyed reading and learning from Janina’s work. I did find the audio version to be very long, and it seemed a little repetitive, especially toward the ending - I would suggest creating an abridged version. The appendices were helpful and overall I regard it as an excellent guide that therapists who work with developmentally traumatised can refer to.

Recognising the parts and who to communicate with then to help heal past traumas

I enjoyed listening to this book. Usually I read though this was brought to life by the narrator. I could listen and take it in and it spoke to me and helped me understand therapies as well as how trauma works and how clients can talk to their parts and understand them and heal them and their current self. Mind blowing and yet completely obvious when it is explained here. Everything makes sense…
