The fact that the Author states that no one was there for her hit home for not only me, but for other people that I know that has been in a similar situation. You would be surprised of the lack of support that a child has growing up in a home with the people that suppose to protect them. This book taught me how to understand what I been through as a child and how to do better as a parent raising my own kids so that they will not fall victim to childhood trauma. Every page had me wanting more and more, it was never a dull moment within those pages. I highly recommend this book, even if you have not been through this, I’m sure you know someone who has. This would be a great gift to anyone. Thank me later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and resourceful book.
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2022

Dr. Jennifer Thomas clearly defines "trauma", particularly childhood trauma and the impact it has on one's mental health if left unresolved. Oftentimes victims are afraid to seek help or speak about traumatic experiences in fear of what others may think or how society might label them. As children we are often taught to keep quiet about what goes on in our home. This way of parenting has done more harm than we can ever imagine. Dr. Thomas sheds light on how childhood trauma is often not acknowledged or addressed in minority populations due to several factors including lack of resources. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has experienced childhood trauma and want to understand the long term effects of trauma. It is a great read with lots of healing techniques.

I did highlight a few helpful stats and reminders, but overall I felt this was a fairly average book on the topic that doesn’t provide any new or in depth information or advice. There were also numerous distracting typos, lots of repetition, and heaps of Bible quotes. This might be better for people with little education, a grade school reading level, and no experience with therapy since the author repeats herself often and defines the simplest of terms.

Dr. Thomas shows in her book very practical ways to release anxiety for me. Situations that I lived through such as bullying, intimidation, and even favoritism in my family unit was pushed down for many years. I noticed in Chapter 3 that i was releasing tension reading Jennifer’s wisdom and research she has compiled to give people information to correct themselves emotionally, mentally and spiritually and carry you for the rest of your recovery journey and everyday life. This book will help so many reach a simplistic end to their trauma, if you will just B.R.E.A.T.H.E.

When I first learned of this book, I knew I had to have it from the title alone. As someone who has dealt with a lot of childhood trauma, I wanted to understand how this book could help me begin to heal. After reading, it has taught me to be honest with myself about myself. I’ve learned why I tend to self sabotage myself, my triggers, and most importantly, how I can learn not only to heal but to welcome and embrace the healing process.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very knowledgeable book that gives you a better understanding of Trauma.
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2022
This book is a well thought out product of more than a decade of knowledgeable information concerning Childhood Trauma and Mental Illness. The author describes how childhood trauma is kept hidden and not supported in a lot of the minority communities. Different forms of mental illness are cause by Traumas that we don’t even know exist. Unless we get help for known or unknown Trauma, it will forever be in your life and possibly passed down by generations. The author breaks down how traumatic experiences can impact all aspects of your mind, body, and spirit. She also talks about how Trauma comes in many forms and looks different from one person to the next. I would recommend this book to anyone that has suffered Trauma or know someone who has dealt with this in their lifetime. A lot of times things don’t happen directly to us, but they affect us because if affects someone we love. This book hit home for me because a lot of times we are taught not to discuss with people thing that happen in your household. And by doing this it can leave a huge scar on your heart. Silence is not always the rule at hand especially when a person has been hurt. This book, is very eye opening and can help people with their healing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is amazing and I found it to be very helpful with the breakdown of theBREATHE technique...
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2022
I absolutely wanted to read this book based just off the title alone. Once I read the introduction I was ready to read more and Dr. Thomas definitely did not disappoint. I found myself reading more and more. I loved the breakdown of childhood trauma. After reading the first chapter I started to relate and identify that I too suffered from childhood trauma. I was taught that what happened behind the closed doors of your home was supposed to be kept private. I loved how she talked about mental illness and how childhood trauma could be the cause of it for many people. Many people think that mental illness is bad and they keep things to themselves when it fact it only causes more harm. Reading this book helped me understand the importance of telling my story with utilizing the BREATHE technique. I would read it all over again and keep it as a favorite and share it with others. It was really an eye opener for me and has given me the techniques needed to heal!
