Incomprehensible

I got this book because I found the book by the developer of the polyvagal theory to be too technical, comprehensible only if you have a medical degree. This book is just as bad, only because it's poorly written. The author's favorite word is "this," and a good 50% of the time, you can't tell what "this" is referring to. The book sounds like it was written by someone whose native language is not English. The narrator also sounds like a non-native speaker, mispronouncing some words and holding out final consonants of words in a very alien-sounding way. Worse, the text is full of non-sequiturs, and misplaced modifiers, claiming, for example, that the polyvagal theory causes you to be nervous when you detect danger. No, the theory does not cause that reaction. The theory explains the reaction. Other sections promise to explain concepts, like "vagal tone," merely to dance around them and confuse the listener even more. Polyvagal theory is evidently subtle and complex, and I really wish I could find an author who can explain it clearly.

The Very Basics, With Not Much Resolve

This was very vague and didn't give me much helpful information, beyond breaking down the basics behind definitions. The narration was also hard to sit through. I don't recommend this and instead recommend Deb Dana's work, even if it's a bit more dense.
