wow the first story did not go the way i expected it to go at all- pleased with how honest it was!

loved "gift of therapy" by yalom for my basic clinical methods class so i've been meaning to read this one! also love that he works from an existential psychology lens

okay chapter 5 on theological anthropology lit up so many lightbulbs in my head wow

oh so this book wants to rip my heart out

"'Love cleanses, beloved. It doesn’t beat you down. It doesn’t cast blame.' He kissed her again, wishing he had the right words to say what he felt. Words would never be enough to show her what he meant. 'My love isn’t a weapon. It’s a lifeline. Reach out and take hold, and don’t let go.'"

AHHHHHHHHHHH

WHAT!??!?!? AGAIN!?!?!??! im gonna strangle someone

"How do I teach a hurt child to trust you when the only father she knew hated her and wanted her dead? How do I teach her the world isn’t all bad when the priest turned her mother away? Lord, she was sold into bondage to a man who sounds like Satan himself. How do I convince her there are good people in the world when everyone she has ever known used her and then condemned her for it?" crying.

oh my goodness the emotional rollercoaster this has been. the third person omniscient pov was jarring at first but WOW this story has me tearing up so much
