This book was amazing! I love the normalization of the nuances of healing: what therapy and the process looks like. Stephanie discusses her trauma experience and her journey through multiple styles of therapy and self-care processes and mindfulness. This memoir is an amazing journey that truly explains that some forms of therapy may not work for everyone and that not just any therapists are the right fit, sometimes you have to go through a few to get the right one to help you where you're at.
But above all, there were so many insightful messages about what trauma is, what healing looks like, how it can affect a person and what it can do for a human. This memoir is also unique, due to its recent release, early this year, it also touches on her experiences during the pandemic!!
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who may be curious! I loved it.
