4.5
Conforting and informative with the kind of information all people deserve access to. If repetitive and run-on at times, this was a fantastic resource for self reflection and hope.
Graphic: Sexual violence, Violence, Panic attacks/disorders, and Mental illness
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Suicide, and Rape
Minor: Torture, Murder, and Self harm
This book is about mental illness and trauma of every kind imaginable. There are case studies including graphic details, but it is not without meaning. Be gentle with yourself as you read <3
