Terrible

Couldn’t get past the second chapter without feeling like someone was reading off random medical language trying to sound intelligent. Not the least bit helpful from a psychotherapist trying to learn more about Polyvagal Theory.

Hard to apply and bad editing

1.Chapters are all mixed up.Chapter one is at 16.
2. Chapters keeps moving back and forth.Chapter16 comes after 23.
3.Too much of scientific theory.
Save your credit and do the following instead.
Wash face with cold water. Talking/Humming ohm or singing. Exercise. Head and neck massage.Relaxing abdominal breathing.Reflection

Repetitive throughout

Repetitive data and subject matter in many chapters. The narrators are boring and provide little inflection to notate where new chapters and concepts begin.

Out of order

Chapters are completely out of order. Very difficult to follow. I wish I could get a refund on this book.

Horrible translation?

A possible explanation of the language in this book is that someone is translating who has extremely poor skill. This book mixes technical descriptions with ridiculously poor choice of vocabulary and surprising misuses of slang. It would be funny if it wasn’t so jolting and frustrating to guess at what is being said. Also, it is very technical even for a researcher to follow, and the narrator is sleep-walking in tone.
