I’ve learned so many ways to cope with the ptsd reactions I’ve struggled with over the years. This book makes it easy. Even better, Alexandra showed me different ways to look at things. (Like anger. I never realized it could be so useful.) I also loved the tips for boosting my spirits on my darkest days. Thank you. I have to admit this has made me a stronger person.

An excellent book full of advice and interesting exercises. It's well written, the explanations are clear and it touches a lot of emotional chords. Highly recommened. Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
The author establishes great credibility by her life experience of extremely difficult times: Divorce, Cancer, & many many heartbreaks. Obviously very qualified to guide readers to a better more peaceful place in life no matter what your experience. The book has many great practical exercises in establishing healing & growth. It is a grand buffet of choices in the exercises to work on to reach more serenity. She embraces many spiritual choices in finding your HIGHER POWER that will guide you to a clear way of Getting Through It.
The distinction between therapy & counselling is not one I would make but it does not take away the value that pervades through out the book of working through personal problems to find peace of mind, happiness, & true spiritual/emotional recovery. Through out the author meets the goal of speaking to the reader one to one. It is a book worth reading when you are looking to find hope, optimism, & resources to get through momumental challenges. It is helpful that included are resources in the bibliography & recommended books to read to further your personal recovery.
For me personally, I don't feel there's a therapeutic benefit. It feels like a conversation with a neighbor that stays at your house too long. I really wanted to like it.
