During my reading, I often felt like: FINALLY SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS. So many painful things that I feel the community has not spoken up about. So many words unsaid that are fully realized in Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha’s words. Audiobook is highly recommended, read by the author. I can’t express enough how the author gave words to what I could never parse together coherently.
Care Work made me realize so many of the questions I have are not answered by psychology and traditional mental health practices, but rather Disability Justice. Slowly, I’ve been coming to terms about my disabled identity too. Ahhhh so many thoughts. So much growth and development igniting in me. Uncomfortable too.
If you’re in an alright headspace, give this book a try, and make sure you take care of yourself and give yourself lots of breaks if you’re sensitive to the material.
