Essa leitura conversou muito comigo de um jeito que me levou a gatilhos que nem mesmo sabia que poderiam me afetar, mas sobre os quais refleti bastante (e levei a minha própria terapia).
Achei a forma como foi exposto e escrito as histórias e exemplos, foi muito respeitosa e honesta. Acompanhar alguns pacientes em paralelo em como reverbarava na Lori, foi especial, enfim, uma leitura que eu amei muito, apesar de ter sofrido em muitos momentos.

I don't understand why this book has this rating. It's boring, superficial, the therapist is a self absorbed drama queen. Having to wait a few months for a sperm donor is not the same as having two miscarriages... Also, she seems like a bad therapist. Avoiding confrontation and making everything about her... Ugh

Loved everything about it. It’s such an honest informative book. I was very invested in the different client stories. And it’s so easy and well written. Loved it.
