Twenty-One Traumas By the third page you know you’re in for something life changing. Reading this book puts so many things into perspective, especially in a viewpoint of how “minor” childhood events all feed in to the person we become as adults. Definitely a must-read, I look forward to reading again and dissecting more gems! Read more
