Critics Review
An incredible dialogue that bares the fundamental causes of trauma, and rightly turns the question of shame on its head and back to the environment. There is so much more we need to learn and this book is the perfect guide to reframing how we can act - through research, experience and compassion - in tomorrow’s world. An essential read – Dr Camilla Pang, biochemist and author of Explaining Humans
Revealing, intimate, and educational, it’s a testament to the authors’ wish for readers to come to grips with, and let go of, the past – and to move forward into ‘post-traumatic wisdom’ – Leigh Haber, O Magazine
