emotional informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

I found the stories compelling — the organization of each chapter was clear and well-paced, which made the content easy to consume — but after three I needed a break. The trauma described in the book may make it a lot for a reader not experienced in the subject matter to complete without interruption. Each patient’s story is a testament to their strength and resilience. The author’s reflections upon her own practice and how she modified her approach depending on the needs of her patient was also fascinating.

I received a copy of this book as part of a Goodreads Giveaway.

Interesting and well written but my goodness it was heavy. I generally prefer heavy but this was almost too much for me… so read with caution ⚠️
