I loved this book so much. Deeply personal, realistic, and inspired so much hope in me. Whether you live with CPTSD, anxiety, depression, or none of the above, this is a wonderful and deeply thought provoking book

Really great memoir about abuse and how it greatly affects your life. I cried a lot but enjoyed it immensely. It felt like a little part of me was healed.

Moving and brutally honest to her experiences. Captivated and immersed her narration and truly appreciate her transparency in her processes.

Wow. Never have I felt so seen and connected to someone's journey. I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to neglect/emotional abuse by my mother. Stephanie's life is much more traumatic than I will ever know, but it was so powerful. I couldn't stop listening. Her resilience, her story, her words were just so inspiring. If you think you have CPTSD, pick up this book. You will not regret it.

I think this book is a must read. The lessons herein can apply to anybody, not just those with a mental health diagnosis.  The themes are difficult and heavy for younger readers, but I'd recommend to any adult.
