Amazingly written. This book has changed the way I view my inner thoughts and has encouraged me to really do more work for deeper understanding and acceptance of my mental health and all that comes with it. Thank you to the author for the vulnerability and educating readers on such important topics.

I enjoyed  the psychological information but also the rawness of Stephanie Foo’s storytelling. I feel like a lot of people with complex trauma (diagnosed or not) will relate to these feelings.  This is the first memoir in a while that left me feeling so inspired at the end. Also obsessed with her love story with Joey—it gives me hope that a love where someone sees you so wholely and just accepts you (bones and all, if you will) exists. I could talk about their community-focused wedding forever.

I loved that actual recordings of her session conversations toward the end were included in the audiobook. Will be purchasing a physical copy!

I read this book in two days. I underlined and flagged so many sections. I could not put it down. Stephanie Foo’s writing voice is stunning. I feel like I learned more about complex and trauma and healing from this book than I have from any Psych book or therapy. I already know I will come back to her words many, many times.
