A copy of this book should be required reading for every pregnant mother/father! This is truly an Amazing read! As someone who experienced impactful childhood trauma and was told that there was “something wrong with me” rather than considering what might have happened to me, she contributed to my trauma. Lots and lots of digging and never ending understanding working in therapy enables me to suggest you read this book. Even if you experienced very little or subtle trauma you will understand others from a different perspective. Until we all understand how easily influenced infants and children by their environment and it’s tone we will continue to perpetuate dysfunction in society. This just might need to be required reading for every senior graduating high school. Prepare to be moved!
