In the later chapters Foo shows us what it was like to finally find someone who listens. To search the world for knowledge and information and land in a stranger's office that would soon become a conduit for healing and change in her life, mind, and body.
The presented research and findings in this book were informative, but that information was not new to me. What was most valuable to me were the details of recorded therapy sessions and learning to reconnect. With other people and with ourselves. Instead of avoiding through dissociation or exclusive self-regulation. This book offers examples of how our own feelings of shame and desperate cravings for love can be transformed into healing through curiosity and exploration.
