Dickson uses a tree metaphor to describe the impact of trauma on the human nervous system. The book accurately depicts aspects of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms ... the illustrations effectively contribute to the book's soothing aesthetic.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.5 x 11 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52730378387763,"sku":"9781954332553","price":32.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/OauqL0T9Cl9781954332553.webp?v=1763830567","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-tree-me-a-polyvagal-poem-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
