WOW. wow wow WOW. this was fucking amazing. i listened to this as an audiobook (you’ll notice a trend for me, i’ve found i tend to enjoy nonfiction more as an audio format) and i’ve honestly never read anything like it. cathartic, sad, relatable, wonderful, i am so happy the author wrote this and my best friend recommended it to me (thank you hal <3). listening to stephanie discover herself in real time, i saw so much of myself in this book it was hard to listen to at points, and i cried a lot, but stephanie’s humor and voice made it a lot easier to get through. her writing style was amazing, too, with anecdotes intermingled with facts and research, and the audio clips of her actual therapy sessions. navigating cptsd is so fucking hard, and i’m so thankful more research and more books like this are coming out to make it easier. i have nothing bad to say about this book, and i would recommend this (in audio format for SURE) to everyone, regardless of your mental health status
