Great info, but definitely recommend .9 speed

I got much more out of this book than I expected. I can now see the multiple ways early abuse affected my life. LOTS of good info. This book is for those a good way along the healing path; those just starting out may be overwhemed. Try slowing down to .8 or .9 speed - narrator’s voice at regular speed was a bit triggering for me.

Amazing resource for clinicians, survivors, and partners!

As a clinician, I was amazed by the amount of resources provided in this book. A must read for those supporting survivors of sexual abuse and trauma.

Beware! This reading may trigger you!

Some books should never be out into an audio format. This is one of them.
While the premises are worthy, the structure of the content and the narrator's voice I'm are quite triggering. Even my husband, who is my wonderful support person felt, as he said "assaulted". The narrator talked as if she were late for a board meeting, and had a harsh staccato voice that really did feel like an assault. Given the abuse I had suffered, I found it rattling. i even slowed her speech down to .90, which was better, but not by much, and slower than that just sounded weird.
My psychiatrist had suggested reading the book, so I got it on Audible. When I told hom I was listening to it, he thought that would be too triggering.
Besides, the written material is better anyway, as I want to be able to underline important points and easily mark exercises she suggests.
I have the book now, but I'm giving myself a break. I feel like I need to recover from the audio version.

No help

Another book that spends 98% of the time identifying your feelings if abused. No help.
