Took me a while to actually finish reading this, because… well… I think the book's subject might provide some clue. But it was a very helpful book about how trauma works, what the symptoms are, what that means for daily life, and some idea on healing it.
Not a practical guide for healing anything though, nor for learning Somatic Experiencing. Not REALLY, anyway. Even if I did slightly do something that helped after trying to capture the general "vibe" of what had been described.

Look, if I'm honest, I would have been disappointed if the book didn't have this.
I bought it to learn how to dial the rotary phone but I'm staying for the feminism
Hmmmm… I should get back to this one. I felt like I needed to take notes… so I stopped…
The vestibular input thing has come in handy though.
Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath …
"Reading is fun!" I said, "I have some past trauma though, so I might read this. Perhaps it's not resolved yet."
"Yes" said my autonomic nervous system, demonstrating the collapse response.
Excellent book about trauma and the body. Triggered me a couple of times, which was… unexpected. But also gave me a path forward, and has already helped me begin to heal.
