hallsifer's review
4.5
A really challenging but informative read. It's less self help book and more an examination of trauma and how it can present through symptoms, and how it can be eased and helped with psychotherapy. It is written from a feminist perspective and includes writing on the influence of misogyny in viewing abusive situations.
Moderate: Child abuse, Suicide, Physical abuse, Pedophilia, Misogyny, Mental illness, Incest, Emotional abuse, and Domestic abuse
This book is about real world trauma, it doesn't go into explicit extended detail but it is a challenging read.
