I didn't find it triggering. I found it very insightful and compassionate.

I agree that it can be triggering. For certain people I know, I just recommended they read the part about treatments for that reason. I hope it did not keep you from being able to get some very valuable resources and insights though, because the book can provide a lot of encouragement and hope as well.

Cheese, triggering, insightful and compassionate are in no way mutually exclusive.

I was thinking while reading it there very very much needs to be a fact-only version without all the triggering stuff. I couldn't recommend this to anyone with PTSD/CPTSD . I think a lot of people have noticed this so hopefully some publisher will jump on the cash cow and make a version with all the research and none of the details.

Does its potential to trigger someone's PTSD mean it deserves a one-star? I'm going to challenge you on that. Perhaps it needs a more explicit content warning on its cover or in its early pages, but that doesn't mean the quality of the book is subpar.

Oh, you're going to "challenge" me on that? It's MY opinion, MY review and MY perspective. It does, in fact deserve a single star, or perhaps none at all, since this book claims to be a helpful guide to people suffering with PTSD, so the act of triggering people who are reading it for that purpose is detrimental at best. So you can take your "challenge" and shove it.

I was merely trying to engage a discussion/academic debate on the topic but my apologies.

Not interested. Now take off.

I have cptsd. For me it was eye opening. Each to their own.

I think the subject matter of the book would indicate that it would discuss activating topics.

Reading about other people's traumas would be triggering if you have trauma you are still working through... That does not mean this is a bad book, it means you need to be aware of your triggers. This is a book to shift the paradigm of helping professions toward being trauma-informed, it's not a book intended to make everyone who reads it feel safe, that's what therapy is for.

Fenris, five years after the initial review and one year after the heated exchange above, I‘d be curious to hear your thoughts on those interactions today, if you’d allow me to ask.
