4.0

It’s a great book, I feel like it’s a must for people who’ve tried it all, podcasts, books, self care articles, etc. 
I like that you have to write and think about your past and your family. 
I think I’ve actually became closer to my parents while and after reading this book, it helped me a lot just to change a little bit my perspective. 
I don’t give it 5 stars just because I felt there were times where the book was very repetitive and used a lot of examples of patients that felt like I had read them before or very similar. 
It has a lot of trigger warnings, so I would definitely suggest reading this when you feel ok to do some self exploring and revisit trauma, look out for yourself.

tdubs15's review against another edition

While I understand the general premise and message of the book, it was a little disheartening to see that a lot of people who have s**cidal thoughts/ideation magically didn't feel that way when they realized that someone in their past actually felt that way. I thought the past would be acknowledged and validated but that there would be coping mechanisms and advice given to help. Instead, it felt more like a series of short stories/anecdotes
