dealing with trauma, mine and yours

This book I’ve known about for many years. Most likely when it was published in 2014. This most likely through conversations with people in yoga. I’ve now owned it for several years as well. The promt to read it now was having expereicned a kind of trauma, observing a loved one experience (and relive old traumas in the present), and going through more fucking trauam (lol) with a group of men earlier this year. In addition, I’m in massage school now and one of my teachers is provides “trauma-informed” therapy. It was time for me to learn what all that may mean. While reading it, I learned what trauma is and is not, what it does to the body/mind and memory, and how to think about, approach, and treat it. I saw myself at earlier ages and how my own trauma shaped many of my interactions and underlying feelings. I’ve already begun using some of the modalities (mainly EMDR) and plan to pursue the others in the near future. I believe I’m really the perfect person to offer this kind of therapy and treatments to others and that it would be meaningful for me.
