The essay that made the biggest impact on me from this book is “Not Over It, Not Fixed, and Living a Life Worth Living: Towards an Anti-Ableist Vision of Survivorhood.” It gave me a glimpse of role models who were living and thriving beyond the basic cultural myth that we can be cured/fixed/reset to factory settings after trauma. Not an easy read, but so helpful.
