This wonderfully illustrated book will be a godsend to anyone
wishing to understand the effects of trauma. Such clear, accessible
explanations of how we hold, process and release trauma based on
the latest research have been long overdue. This little book will
be invaluable to both therapists and the public alike.

It would seem impossible that the weighty subject of trauma could
be explored so thoroughly in a comic book format. Yet this pairing
of text and image so perfectly balances academic rigor, whimsical
design, and engaging little narratives. At its heart, this book
beautifully inspires the reader to see personal trauma as an
opportunity for healing and growth.

Using simple comics, concise explanations and a healthy dose of
wit, this clever book not only explains how trauma affects our body
and brain, but more importantly, outlines how to support our body's
innate ability to discharge and recover from trauma.

Steve, once again in talking head mode, thus diagrammatically takes
us through the myriad different forms that trauma can take and what
responses we can expect. As before, it's the incredible degree of
symbolism and visual metaphor that Sophie puts into every single
illustration which transform this from merely being a succinct and
extremely clear explanation of the facts to a fun filled pamphlet
of pictorial educational enablement. I think the beauty of this and
their previous work is they manage to deal with such complex topics
in a manner that would be perfectly digestible and understandable
even for primary school kids without remotely compromising on the
scientific facts. Brilliant!
*Page 45*
I'd recommend this comic anyone who has experienced trauma or who
is working with someone who has. It provides clear and relatable
ways of understanding and talking about the effects of trauma, and
some sensible suggestions for taking the first steps towards
recovery.
