An incredible dialogue that bares the fundamental causes of trauma,
and rightly turns the question of shame on it’s head and back to
the environment. There is so much more we need to learn and this
book is the perfect guide to reframing how we can act - through
research, experience and compassion - in tomorrow's world. An
essential read
