I always thought I’d “moved on” from my childhood until I realized how much anxiety and perfectionism were still driving my life. This book helped me connect the dots between my past and my present without making me feel broken. It explained things in a way that made sense emotionally and logically. I’ve started journaling again, changed how I handle stress, and finally gave myself permission to rest without guilt. The focus on excellence without self-destruction really spoke to me. Healing doesn’t mean lowering your standards—it means redefining what success looks like.

I didn’t expect this book to hit home as much as it did. I’ve spent years brushing off old stuff from my childhood, thinking I’d already “dealt with it.” This made me realize I was still carrying way more than I thought. The strategies are simple, and I’ve actually stuck with them—especially the part about taking small steps without feeling guilty. If you’ve ever felt stuck but wanted to move forward, I’d recommend giving this a read.
