This book made me realize an insane amount of things about myself. I knew I struggled with having an emotionally immature parent, but had no idea how it affected every part of my life to specific extents. This book made me realize my body image issues stem from a fear of looking like my mother, a fear I had no idea I had until reading this. This book does an incredible job with integrating writing prompts and meditation activities that put you deep in thought, and I honestly want to read it again and buy another copy to do the work again!
