Can't listen to this

I will never know whether this a good book or not. Unfortunately for me personally, the narrator's voice is next level annoying. Like nails on a chalkboard, I couldn't turn it off fast enough. Tried a second time with the same reaction. May just be me but listening to this would cause more trauma than I'm trying to heal!

important but limited

any attempt to formulate a completely integrated therapeutic approach at the leading edge of current research and accepted practice is a challenge not for the faint hearted ... this is a impressive contribution to the field. there is a lot of wisdom and good ideas within but a suspect that it will not become the next big thing in helping those experiencing developmental trauma.
while it introduces a range of "survival styles" , it only addressed in detail one. (there would not have been room) but some brief discussion would have been nice.
i have now bought the hard copy as it in many ways is a text book and not always easy to listen to

Life changing book for me, but tricky audio

This audiobook has helped me have a deeper understanding of my very early difficulties of trauma and neglect as a baby, causing so many impacts on my whole life including Complex PTSD.
But I will say that this audiobook has such heavy content that I kept having to pause it so often, that I wish I got this as a physical book instead of an audiobook. So I recommend people to get the book and not the audiobook, to allow easier mental processing at your own pace instead of audio pace.

Clear and concise fundamentals to access and live core aliveness!

Thank you for bringing together the key aspects to support greater self connection and provide understanding while illustrating pathways to healing which allows for living in presence not merely existing.

Very applicable to my personal experience

Prompted a lot of revalations - or at least pointed me in the right direction. Also gives a lot of insight into the personalities and experiences of others

An incredibly helpful book.

Laurence Heller and Aline LaPierre bring together an understanding of the ‘how to’ of integrating both top down and bottom up processes to support healing from this most disempowering and disabling form of human suffering. A helpful resource indeed!

Good book, just hard to listen to

Interesting content and very, very hard to listen to, due to the robotic nature of the narrator’s voice. Found myself tuning out much of the time as a result of it. Wish they’d re-record it so I could try listening again.
