Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot
3.0

"It was polarizing to be told there was a diagnosis for the behaviors I felt justified in having."

"I remember my first creative writing professor in nonfiction asked his class not to write about abortions or car wrecks. I thought, 'You're going to know about my abortion in detail.' If only there had been a car crash that same day."

"Therapy is fucking hard. My therapists didn't pity me -- not the good ones. They made me strip myself of pandering, manipulation, presentation; they wanted the truth more desperately than I did. And then they wanted me to speak it, live it every moment."
