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.

absolutelyfatal's review against another edition
I knew this was probably going to not be something for me since in the opening chapter the author quoted mother Teresa. A big yikes. About 40% in I had to bounce, as an overview I like what the author set out to do, in depth though this ain't it. The author puts forth if you just embrace pain you'll be just fine.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Pedophilia, Pregnancy, and Ableism
