Bite-sized book reviews
I’m currently taking an intensive course on IFS (Internal Family Systems, a psychotherapy approach) with the author, Frank Anderson, so it was fun to have his book drop in the middle of my course. He’s a great instructor and turns out a great writer too. I thought this memoir was beautifully told, all about his own extensive trauma and healing journey. I feel like you can always tell reading a memoir if the author is using it to work through their trauma or if they have already done the work and is ready to share their story. This was definitely the latter, it’s apparent how much of his own work he’s done which allows him to tell the story from a neutral stance while still being very personal and vulnerable. I loved it!
