This would be a 3 but she mentioned "love languages" several times in the book like they are valid and scientific (...they are not), when she should have called them out for what they are (misogyny, coercive control...basically used to keep women in their place )

I would like to support people who are sharing evidence based practices to prevent and reduce trauma and conflict, but this particular author continues to not cite the original research (for things that have actually been researched), repeats much of what she says in all of her books, and shares harmful misinformation (like "love languages")

Not everything was very practical or always as easy to understand, but I did get some useful information and tips from this. I feel like I got some useful tips I can use to grow and that's what is important to me in these kind of books.

A lot of my reviews are also available with photo at my Bookstagram: @justmyfantasyworld

LePera incorporates personal experience, client case studies, and evidence-based research. Her multifaceted approach ensure the reader practically engages with self-reflection and regulation. I may suggest readers have a grasp on Attachment Theory before recommending the book. However, LePera writes for accessibility and empowerment of oneโ€™s individual and interpersonal wellness.
