Publisher's Summary

A no-nonsense and helpful guide on how to cope with a slew of mental-health issues that are hell-bent on ruining the lives of millions of people worldwide

Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes - having meltdowns, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. Your brain knows it's not good to do these things, but it can't help it sometimes - especially if it's obsessing about trauma it can't overcome. That's where this life-changing book comes in.

With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what's going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately to the non-emergencies of everyday life, and to deal effectively with old, or newly acquired, traumas (particularly post-traumatic stress disorder).

The audio quality is awful.

OVERALL RATING WAS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THIS REVIEW. I HAVE NOT FINISHED THE BOOK.

I haven't listened to the book yet, but the quality is brutal. I'm going to try and get a refund. I've listened to a lot of Audible - and this is the only bad one.

Tries too hard to show she can swear

The content was interesting and I am comfortable with crude delivery but it felt forced. On top of the poor recording mix, very metallic and echoey, the constant swearing felt fake versus swearing for effect. Very distracting.

Some good content

The audio quality really compromised the content of this book. The woo was a bit much, and the language did need some tempering.

LOVE THE LADY WHO WROTE THIS!! THANK YOU

Loved this book.. Love the way that she takes all the stereotypical crap and takes away its power by being straight up!
Everything she says makes sense and she says it in such a way that makes me feel like i am not broken or unfixable... Ive just been going about life dealing with my anxiety depression and problems the wrong way

Don’t waste your time

Terrible audio that makes it hard to listen. The info is very similar to a lot of other books, which makes this one not worth your time. The info could be good but the narrator and audio are so terrible that you’re better off listening to something else. The extra “fuck”‘s are also over done and unneeded.

Raw honest approach!

I appreciate the raw honest approach and frequent F bombs, several good other resources mentioned in the book.

Horrible audio quality

The audio quality is so bad and makes it difficult to listen to. The content of the book is good but the swearing is actually ridiculous. I understand the title of book and what the author is going for, but she swears unnecessarily at least every 4-5 sentences - making it cringey and takes away from the story...

Too much vulgarity

What is with this book? So I get that there is a swear word jn the title but I wasn’t expect every third word of this book to be a profanity. It really takes away from the contents of the book making it difficult to take the author seriously and concentrate on the subject matter. I’m not sure if this is supposed to be an attempt at humor but it misses the mark. There is some really good information in this book so it’s too bad it is presented this way. It’s also worth mentioning the audio quality is terrible and the narrator seems to stumble on her words every once in a while. Might be a better read than listen.
