Excellent!
"This was excellent! This is one of the best comprehensive guides on how to take responsibility for ourselves in an approachable and actionable way. The information was presented in a receivable manner and the examples were extremely relatable. I wish I had this book earlier on, I think it would have made a profound impact on my early relationships."

Ground Breaking!
"In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Renee Brooks reveals how trauma—often disguised as personality—can quietly shape our perceptions and drive self-sabotaging patterns. What we once called “just the way I am” is often the echo of deeper wounds. With insight and compassion, she helps readers untangle these patterns and move toward emotional maturity, healing, and wholeness. This is more than a book—it’s a guide to becoming your healthiest self."

I’ve just finished reading your book, and one of the things that stood out to me the most is how you can discuss so many complex topics in a light and smooth way. I really enjoyed the conversational tone. It was like you were my therapist and we were sitting together around a table sipping coffee while you told me some life-changing information.
​
I was raised to not raise my voice and conceal some of my feelings… so you can only imagine how hard it was to me to decide to leave a career and stability around my 30 to start a nomadic life and career. Of course, I could picture bits of myself in all the examples you brought here, and the fact is that for the first time in many years working as a Beta Reader and a whole life as an avid reader, you brought baggage that I could relate to. Raised to be the “perfect daughter” might not sound like a huge baggage, but it is incredible to see how powerful it is.
And this was the first time I see an author really naming it, permitting me to not feel like I was complaining while I should be thankful. I’m not sure if I could explain the exact feeling, I have now, but the point is that I believe you did an excellent job when you chose the real stories to share here. It was diverse, so I believe you made sure that all readers feel seen.
