Too much pseudoscience and spirituality for my personal taste.

Wow pretty much covers how I felt reading this entire book. Silvia is such an inspiration, and I adore her growth and ability to develop honesty with herself through the challenges she engaged in. I’ve been hit by her experiences and hope that she continues to find healing and love for her young self, as well as the person she is now.
