fraeyalise's review
1) Graphic, unnecessary description of child sexual assault that came out of nowhere.
2) Does she even have consent to share the stories of her patients in such graphic detail?
3) The white and class privilege here is grating on me.
I've gotten all I can out of this book. I'm cautious, apprehensive, and wary of reading any more of her anecdotes because of how matter-of-factly she inserted the graphic CSA and rape descriptions.
I was a little triggered by her miscarriage and birth stories as well, but the CSA was the huge final straw.
