outofrange reviewed The Myth of Normal by Daniel Maté
Lives dedicated to healing
5 stars
It took me a long time to read this, but I never ceased to find it rewarding, and I expect I'll return to it when in need of healing. I have read some critiques of the science behind trauma theories in particular, but I haven't encountered any other guide to human healing expressed with more compassion or personal insight. The critiques of the toxic aspects of our culture are in line with my observations, as are some of the few steps I've taken myself on the path to wholeness.
