This book wasn’t as meaningful to me as I expected it to be. I liked their quotations with the Bible. Sometimes I didn’t quite see how the quotation supported what they were saying. Somehow this book just didn’t click with me. It’s a very popular book, so it might be great for someone else. Come to think of it, I’m not into self-help books these days.

Chapters 1-4 set the background on problems in human development of boundaries.

Trauma people do not have a tendency to establish boundaries due to the cost of setting boundaries. The authors have used the psychological trauma genre and overlayed it with biblical originality so as to reaffirm that all trauma-based psychology was original to the Bible. ( )
