chrustek00_'s review against another edition
Ta książka dała mi niesamowicie dużo materiału do poddania refleksji. Trochę nie umiem dobrze oddać słowami tego, co myślę o tej książce, ale była naprawdę bardzo dobra. Historie opisane w książce są bardzo trudne emocjonalnie i niesamowicie jest móc mieć choć częściowo wgląd w to, jak terapia pomogła tym osobom i jak dla nich wyglądał ten proces. Można też zaobserwować zarówno błędy, jak i sukcesy terapeutki w całym tym procesie i czerpać z tego wiedzę, którą można się inspirować jeśli z terapią wiąże się swoją pracę zawodową.

tessazwaan's review against another edition
3.0
First and foremost, I hate the emphasis on being “strong” (read: cope with excessive working, shutting off feelings and function “normally” in a kapitalist society). The sentence “She had to be tough, otherwise she would have formed a disorder” perfectly describes the tone of the book.
Secondly, as a therapist, I feel like you should refrain from labelling people’s feeling as “whiny” or “needy”, especially since the people being called whiny and needy were severely abused. Sentences along the lines of “I wish people could hear this story when they are in my office complaining about insignificant childhood events” just don’t sit right with me. It’s disrespectful and lacks empathy, especially coming from a clinical psychologist.
Third, there is some transphobia in this book. There’s deadnaming someone, only referring to her as a her after her surgeries and seeing a transgender woman explicitly as someone who could fulfill both a male and female role. I could have really done without that part, it also felt super unnecessary to add, since she wasn’t even a main character.
Last but not least, how do you get consent to publish a life story from a dead man? Especially one from an Indigenous culture where keeping low profile is key? And this story was detailled as fuck? It felt just like she picked the most extreme stories to put in her book so her book could get as much shock effect as possible.
