This book is probably about a hundred pages too long but the tools and advice on how to address inner wounds and traumas are powerful enough that it's worth the read anyway. I took lots of notes and will be working on the inner work questions outlined throughout the book, but I also found myself skimming paragraphs often (either because the content got repetitive or the author spent far too long on a personal anecdote) and just skipping to the key insights or the inner work questions / exercises within each chapter.
Basically, if we're not getting our needs in our relationships our first instinct is to express that to our partner and ask them to do something differently. Instead, this book invites us to look within ourselves for the real solution. It gives us tools for processing childhood trauma (and the unconscious coping mechanisms we developed to process those), bringing our dysregulated nervous system back to homeostasis, and learning to observe the trauma based stories our mind cooks up by tuning into the intuitive wisdom of our own body.
