My Review:
Dr. Laurel Shaler has written an amazing resource on a truly sensitive subject. Mental illness is a topic not many want to talk about, especially those who are suffering from trauma. With honesty, sensitivity, and sincerity the author attempts speak to the heart of the reader and provide help and support for those who greatly need it. She was able to masterfully achieve calling out trauma while not getting into specific triggering content. As she says in her writing, the book is hopefully a support but is not intended to take the place of individual professional help. This is a great resource for anyone who has dealt with trauma in the past or who is trying to walk alongside someone who has. I give this book a resounding 5 stars, and it’s worth every one of them and more!
