kellysparks 's review for:
This book is incredible.
I had two immediate thoughts when picking it up at the library.
1. I won't understand it / this information will go over my head
2. It's an older / outdated book (purely judging a book by the cover)
Both of those, it turns out, were false assumptions.
My fear with any psychology / psychoanalytical book is that it will be written only for those who have a background in the field or have studied extensively. Thankfully, Hilary writes in a way that people without PHDs can understand and because of that, this was one of the most helpful books I have ever read.
I was incredibly eyeopening into core emotions and the effect that childhood trauma causes on adult brains. Within the first few chapters of this book, I was already looking at my emotions differently and beginning to understand why the brain triggers specific emotions during certain situations.
I would recommend this book to literally everyone, especially those working to heal from past abuse or current depression. 6/5 stars.
