1.0

Wow, I truly have not hated a book more than this one in SO long. The *only* reason this book isn’t getting 0 stars is that the patients and their stories were compelling and meaningful. Everything outside of direct patient-centered storytelling, I despised. This author expressed sooooo many problematic thoughts and behaviors - AS A THERAPIST!!! - that I wondered what she did that she didn’t feel comfortable putting into a public facing book. Her views on most every single situation were questionable at best, unethical at medium, actively HARMFUL at worst. I truly hated this and wish I had never read it because now I have to think about how such an unfit person treated all of these people with severe trauma and so many others.

[bez oceny]

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.
