The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting by Alice Miller

4.0

My therapist recommended this one to me and no wonder. I didn’t expect it to be this religious. Anyway: it takes a stab at the fourth commandment and traditional morality, which states all children should obey their parents and forgiveness is always the best option. Which, this line is fantastic: “Forgiveness has never had a healing effect.” It’s one of those books that has all the information you felt like you already knew but someone wove it into familiar words for you.

Took an unnecessary dig at art and fiction, though! That’s not the problem here. Also steered very, very clear of singular they pronouns—which might’ve been the translation—but the book used “it” as pronouns for people. Yikes.
