This is probably one of the best books I've read this year. It took a while to finish because it felt like a mirror, showing me what I needed to accept and let go of within myself. One of the things I loved about this book is that it was written from a perspective of empathy and self-compassion. I felt validated, and it helped me understand how complicated most relationships are and how they are often related to our childhood. This book showed me how to embrace the past and learn to take accountability for changing old patterns. <3
"Taking care of the wounded part of ourselves by being compassionate and understanding to ourselves instead of self-critical."

Would've rated it higher but it wasn't too memorable.

The therapist we are all hoping for when we start a new round of sessions. Zimmerman is warm, direct and non judgemental; she explains therapeutic concepts well, treading the line between accessibility and complexity carefully. Most of my copy is now highlighted to return to later. I've read several books on therapy and, for me, this is the gold standard. I also appreciate that her online presence is focused on education as opposed to selling me a miracle course. I trusted her.

A beautiful book on why we act the way we do (mostly in relationships) and why we mess it up sometimes. Not technical at all.
You would wish you had read this 20 years ago, well the next best date is now.

I was really excited about this book, because there are hundreds of thousands of mental health books out there, but I've been waiting for a simple easy to read break down of here is what this situation is, here is what is really happening, and here are exercises you can do to help with x, or y. This was super simple to read, and really helpful and also insightful.
Thank you for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
