This book helped me put words to feelings I’ve carried my entire life. I didn’t realize how much my childhood was still affecting me until I read this. It felt like someone finally understood.

I saw myself in every chapter. It was uncomfortable at times, but also freeing. For the first time, I feel like I have permission to heal without guilt.

Dr. Black speaks with honesty and compassion. This book didn’t just make me reflect—it made me change. I’m learning how to show up differently for myself and my family.
