A Fabulous Game Changer!!!

Revisado: 08-09-23

My husband, who leans avoidant, and I, who leans anxious ambivalent, thoroughly love this book! We appreciate the clarity, insight, examples, humility, hopefulness and somatic approach that the author shares. It is a kind of North star of guidance and we definitely plan to re-listen to it. Many aspects are relevant, it is a gem, and we love that the author reads it. Bravo & Thank you!

Ah, Much Appreciated!

Revisado: 06-11-23

I will take the author’s sage advice and jot down a review in the moment, rather than wait for the perfect opportunity to write a more polished review. I really enjoyed this book. It reminds me a bit, and this would be a compliment, of Iain McGilchrist’s writing and delivery. This title is one I will share with friends and I will likely re-listen because it’s rich with depth and wisdom. Thank you to Oliver Burkeman, I especially appreciate books narrated by the author as it adds congruence. And your book is a gem.

I truly have enjoyed this book, I love Julia’s narration, and I plan to listen to more of her books. For me, she is a trusted voice. I found this book to be unique and wise and I’d like the different case histories. Many kudos to Julia. I’m glad I didn’t let critical reviews dissuade me. I am thankful to have listened to it.

This is a much-needed perspective

I like that the author narrates it and that she mentions her ADHD & neurodiversity upfront. The book is clear, credibie and shows the author's evolving confidence and authenticity on a sticky complex subject.

I like the reframes of chores into care tasks, the shortcut option is clever tho I didn't use it because I wanted to hear every word.

I like the how to's and I would have liked more on how to decide on what to discard to make room so stuff can actually have a home.

This book is more than how to's, it dives far deeper into intangibles. In that area I would have liked more on how a traumatized nervous system shapes identity and how even mild chronic survival stress states impact a person's executive ability to organize & function.

Overall the book is rooted in self-compassion and I greatly appreciated that. Bravo!

I love learning about polyvagal theory and this book is one of the best. Regardless of the title it has broad application for a large audience. I am neither a parent nor a health professional and I have gained so much from it. Thank you doctors and all who have contributed to this book. I am so grateful to Dr Porges and Deb Dana for their foundational contributions. Polyvagal Theory and the Developing Child is really excellent and aspirational. I will replay it again and again to hear the gems. Thank you and bravo!!! Onward toward a more polyvagal informed society.. . . . .

I endured it...

Revisado: 06-24-11

The author has done her homework. She presents many references worthy of tracking down, but for me it was too broad and over-written. Too many topics, too many references, and too much overly descriptive language made it a taxing example of overchievement.
