[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.

This book. 😮‍💨 This book is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 for the faint of heart and is probably one of the heaviest books I’ve ever read, in terms of material. I cannot stress enough: check the content warnings prior to reading!

Horrifying, astounding and heart wrenching, and yet also fascinating, moving and compelling, this book looks at the true stories of five of Gildiner’s most testing + profound patients. The book is format into five sections, one dedicated to each patient, which allows the reader to become completely immersed in each story. 

The physical + emotional trauma these five patients went through is completely unimaginable, and I had to keep reminding myself that this wasn’t fiction. Having said that, the incredible resilience they showed and the power of therapy was mind-blowing and I was completely amazed by each patient’s strength and journey of progression. 

I also found it very refreshing to read about Gildiner taking accountability for her mistakes and learning curves throughout her career and educating herself where she lacked knowledge to allow her to help her patients best. 

This is by far one of the most difficult and graphic books I’ve ever read, but if you’re in the right head space and this is something that interests you, I highly recommend reading it!
