I don’t think 100% of the claims will hold up over time, but I would not call it crackpot or discredited, by a long shot. Simply acknowledging that childhood trauma has some consistent effects and being 60% right. would be doing better than the American Psychiatric Association, which still hasn’t even added CPTSD to the DSM. They seem intent on pathologizing just about every type of behavior imaginable, but they don’t seem to think childhood trauma is very relevant to mental health.

> Simply acknowledging that childhood trauma has some consistent effects and being 60% right The book is far from limited to childhood trauma. It is any event that leads to overreaction of the sympathetic nervous system causing increased cortisol downstream that the body struggles to adapt to. This can be consistent micro-stressors or singular major events. No requirement for them to have happened in childhood.
