That is indicative of cherry picking the authorities you chose to discuss it with, since the problems with this book and the theories behind it are both well-known and well-documented. Start here:

Fair to just say anecdotal or they were being polite.
>since the problems with this book and the theories behind it are both well-known and well-documented.
Reading this article, it's exactly what the book was written for, it's exactly what's wrong with "the experts" and it's almost certain that these authors did not read the book.
> that have limited to no evidence (e.g., massage, acupuncture, yoga, community theater, and neurofeedback), according to the latest treatment guidelines by the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies
If you read the book, and those authors did not. PTSD experts, including him, had been tracking Traumatic events and the people who almost certainly had PTSD were not getting help from 'the experts'. first responders at 9/11 for example had great benefits and could have seen therapists, had largely gone to chiropractors and yoga to treat their PTSD. Which wasnt something he expected. It wasn't intentional, they simply had body aches and had gone for treatment. But that's how he realized the body connection and how it keeps score.
He wrote the book because 'the experts' discount what works and the lay people dont give 2 shits what the experts think.
