Picked this up, thanks. I'll give another recommendation for another commenter's suggestion of "the body keeps the score".

Have you read The Body Keeps the Score? Extremely well done book that comes to a similar conclusion

+1 for The Body Keeps the Score.
Before reading it, I discovered that a regular sauna practice (alternating cold hot cycles) had major benefits on my trauma symptoms, both developmental and acute PTSD from a near death experience. Then I read the book and was gratified to find this approach studied/explained/validated. These days I recommend it to anyone with mental health concerns, which is basically everyone these days as far as I can tell.
This book on developmental trauma looks good as well, thanks for sharing.

The theory laid out is that early childhood trauma gets stored in the body, and that there has to be a bottom-up approach to dealing with the afteraffects of this. A top-down approach that is purely cognitive won't suffice. I'm not yet at the treatment portion of the book, but it seems to exactly line up with this study and might be interesting for you.
