Teared up, cried, and had fully body reactions at multiple parts of this book, both the good and the bad. I didn't expect to connect so deeply and to see so many parts of myself and members of my family reflected on page.

I've never been diagnosed with CPTSD, however after reading this memoir I'm leaving my mind open to the possibility of seeking such diagnosis. While the author and I had different "genres" of generational trauma, I absolutely resonated with her thoughts processes and behaviors as a result of her CPTSD. It got to the point I started rapidly writing down quotes in my journal as I listened to the audiobook. I plan on referencing her writings in future therapy sessions, and incorporating methods of her healing journey into mine.

Man I wish I could have a therapist like Dr. Han lol.

absolutely gutted me, but healing at the same time. thanks for being real about mental health struggles and sharing my hatred for the gentle platitudes most therapists try to use.

Soul crushing, cried a lot and discovered how badly some person shouldn't be parents. Having listened to the audiobook, I really enjoyed the snippets of therapy.
