Jane's Reviews > What Doesn't Kill Us: The New Psychology of Posttraumatic Growth

As a "thriver", I liked this book but at the end the author lost me. When trauma occurs we know that our body's neurotransmitters that balance our response to stress are compromised. This means sometimes pharmaceuticals are the only option as opposed to behavioral therapeutic techniques. I find it odd a man with a Ph.D. would carelessly recommend keeping your "feet firmly grounded on the floor" as an alternative to taking medicine that could easily alleviate a debilitating mental problem. To each his own I suppose, or in my case, her own.
