Trauma and how the brain works.
The true stories he shares, are excellent, yet heartbreaking!
I love it when a book shifts your way of thinking, and helps you move forward.
pickThis book was heartbreaking, informative, enlightening, and hopeful all at the same time. Even if you're not a psychology nerd or around children much, this is still a very worth-while read.

Winston was disappointed when he found out someone had already used the title he wanted for his memoir. He thinks he's a real boy, and insinuating he's a dog is just down right insulting. 🤣🐶
Day 5 of the sunburn, and I had to grab some essentials from the store. ? Thank you to those of you who recommended the "blue gel" and lidocaine. Freaking game changer! I feel like I'm in heaven right now.
Also, I feel like I shouldn't say that this is a good book because of the nature of it, but the book is really interesting and well written. It's a child psychologist who wrote about various traumatized children that he helped.
Some light evening reading 😅 Learning more about how to love and care for children who have been through trauma. #psychology #therapy #trauma
pickEnlightening look on child development and the effects of trauma, especially the negative, later in adolescence and adulthood. I would highly recommend for those interested in mental disorders or destructive psychological behavior.
Yay! Look at what came in the mail today!! I've been wanting a copy for a while 😊 #psychology #casestudies
pickAn inspiring read providing wonderful insight into the dynamic work with children and families who experience trauma. Dr. Perry's reflective stance on the cases presented highlights his incredible passion for bringing professionals together and his sensitivity to the children in his care. The discussion around the importance of community to the very survival and evolution of the human race is poignant in the increasing isolation we live in.
