I did finish this book... although I really didn't want to. Some of the issued he talked about rubbed me the wrong way. Dealing with trauma is something I've been going through since I was about 5 so I was excited to read this book. I did get some helpful bits in the beginning chapters, BUT I feel the author was too easy going on abuse. That we should forgive and rebuild relationships with those who hurt us. While some people may be able to do that, I don't feel like you can generalize it. I don't think anyone should forgive abuse in any form. I just made me feel uneasy.

I wanted to love it but I just didn't.
