The Myth of Normal

This was definitely an important book about trauma and its impacts on our individual and social health. These topics of trauma are often not discussed enough. However, this book was so overwhelming with information about the deep and dark effects of trauma (addictions, homelessness, disease, etc). It felt as if we are doing everything wrong and nothing right that it left me with a lot of hopelessness. It was a very long book and it felt like it dumped all of this trauma on the reader with not a lot of solutions to actively solve the problem. Although it was very well researched and clearly the author knows what they are talking about, it left me feeling helpless knowing that there is all this trauma and not a lot of answers to how to change it.
