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 😀

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

Very relevant information, very clearly presented and eloquently read. Thank you.

So insightful!

Wow! This book just hits the nail on the head from my point of view. The description of why clients do what they do, because there are multiple parts involved, is just so accurate. I feel it has described my internal world with such skill. Thank you!

Great content. Poor narrator.

I found the content very useful and practical. Very relevant and up to date. unfortunately the narrator sounds like an android.

Amazing Book!

This book is very rich and full of great example and information on helping clients, the narration isn't great, but once you watch a webinar with Janina you understand the way the book is written so much more.

I just love that we can co-regulate ourselves and create earned secure attachment, having done this myself while working on parts and trauma including c-PTSD to heal severe chronic illness I see the validity in Janina's methods.

I plan on buying the book and having a 2nd read to really absorb what is so much wonderful information.
