By asking and answering questions, of why wild animals are rarely traumatized even though they are always encountering trauma, there can be much learned about the mysteries associated with human trauma.
Also, the book has a lot of steps that can help, especially when people are often traumatized by ordinary experiences, and so the reader learns of the various impulses that are in play when we feel trauma and the way we can control it.
