Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky
3.0
There's some good concepts I will take with me.
Main gripes:
- could be more intersectional and that people can be intersecting multiple points of marginalization
-with the above said, no real view point from the the disabled and neurodivergent community aside from depression/anxiety
-lacks understanding of systemic racism and oppression
-lacks understanding of the multitudes of people's class status and situations.
-gives simple answers from problems that are complex (ie:the idea of working less hours when you are working wild hours bc you quite literally don't have a choice if you want to eat or have a home)
-includes systemic damaging oppressive professions like cops
-describes pictures in audiobook but then the one ACTUAL IMAGE that needs to be read about in depth (the 5 points compass) was glossed over. I had to google an image to understand it
I would follow up by saying read the user Milo's review for this book.
There are good things to take away from this book FOR SURE, but it's a mixed bag for me.
