Speechless.

Let's put it this way: I recommended this to my therapist when I was only 54% done with this book.

I got my diagnosis in 2014, so it's been a while. So much of this book was familiar in a way I really needed. I was particularly struck by how similar my therapeutic journey was to Stephanie's in terms of the order in which we moved through different concepts, themes, modalities, etc... Because of that familiarity, this almost felt like a condensed cheat sheet of the lessons I learned when healing and doing my own research on cptsd.

My sincerest thanks to the author for not only writing the book but also reading the audiobook which included recordings from her therapy sessions. Vulnerability fosters connection and understanding. Widely recommended and, if you read this book, let's talk about it.
