felt seen and heard

Having come from an immigrant family emotional wellbeing was never a priority. This book articulated the emotional landscape as well as provided tools to navigate healing.

validating!!!

I didn't realize how much I needed to hear this. It's so validating. I'm grateful for stumbling on this rec on TT.
Accessible language, and littered with helpful citations of additional supports. I'm healing, and this audiobook has reassured me that the steps I'm taking is movement in the right direction.

Helped Me Process What I Knew Inside

this book really helped me process living with emotionally immature parents. it wasn't negative or judgmental towards the immature at all. it was realistic. I feel that those reviews saying it was such, are from people who feel guilty of their anger towards being raised in a neglectful or abusive household. this book was well worth the money.
