i love alice miller but the insight in this text is simply not in proportion to the amount of pages. too little content for a book. maybe a short collection of essays would’ve been a better frame

A more useful version of the Body Keeps Score. At least it was for me, YMMV

While I agree with the overall message of the book: you do not need to forgive those who hurt you and society has an unhealthy obsession with forgiveness and irs causing physical illnesses or ailments. It wasnt written the greatest. The text had a very disjointed feel to it, a lot of what was said seemed to be forced together in a way that did not fit. Added to that, there wasnt anything entire groundbreaking or new to the thesis of this book.
