Meh, I don’t doubt that there are many ailments caused by childhood trauma, and I have my own theories about how health can be affected by stuffed down feelings, but like every disease ever being caused by trauma? Seems like a leap
As someone who’s been aware of and doing EMDR for her trauma, but also with PCOS and psoriasis, these things aren’t getting better as I become less traumatized so like take that as you will.
I did however like the exploration of how you can’t really honor thy mother and father without free will

The main point that emotional struggles can result in physical pain or diseases I agree, but the argumentation seems a bit too thin.
Yes, you don't need to forgive your parents, but I'm not convinced that if your blind that you wanted to close your eyes from the truth.
But I guess it's the entryway into the topic, but I will definitely read a more scientific approach next. I like a lot of other books of Alice Miller, but same there you have to keep in mind when it's written and take the argumentation with a grain of salt.
The content warnings I gave are based on that these topics are discussed, I personally didn't felt triggered, but keep in mind that they will come up.
