[Rebecca Nuttall · Rating 2 out of 5]

Incredibly helpful in places, and the reader gets a sense of the importance of this issue in the author’s own life. Unfortunately, much of the book is made up of largely unscientific, misspelled and sometimes factually inaccurate information, which discredits some of the more useful insights. It’s a shame, since a bit more rigour could have produced a more credible work - although I commend the author for writing something with no real motive other than to help others.
Ultimately this is a well-meant but flawed book - you may find some useful advice, but take most of what you read with a pinch of salt.

i love the passion and the idea behind this book. you can tell they’re trying to normalise SPDs and provide a sense of community and support. BUTTTT everything in the book is hypothesised with no cited empirical evidence. this is mainly why i’m sceptical to recommend the book to anyone however it does provide some basic information that is a good starting point towards understanding what theories are out there around compulsive self injury behaviours
