Review: Trauma is Really Strange by Steve Haines & Sophie Standing

I can't seem to manage to autopost my reviews to my GoodReads blog, so here's a link to the book:

This is a BRILLIANT, absolutely brilliant, comprehensible in its entirety explanation of what trauma is--to both those trying to work through it and those trying to understand what it is that happens in the minds-bodies of their loved ones. The author and illustrator work so well together to

a) tell a story that's

b) supported by academic / scientific research

c) but never bogged down it

d) simple to understand but never simplified

I wish I had read this book three, five, ten years ago.

So grateful it is now in my life.

There is an adjunct book: Pain is Really Strange, and that's next on my read list.
