I've never been one for self-help books. But this one was as triggering as it was healing.
I'm still too in my feelings to capture how I felt while reading this, but it helped highlight so much about my childhood and current life. I understand so much more about why I grew up the way I did. I see the source of my anxiety and my conflicted relationship with authority. So this was healing.
At the same time, it left me with a big gap... Between how I wish it was and how it is. Highlighted just what I'm missing... What I may never get to have. Which was, naturally, triggering.
As I said, still too in my feelings.
Short version is, this is a heavy and lovely book.
Perhaps it's time to reparent myself haha!
