Walker graciously doesn't lay heavy emotional pulls on his readers in this memoir as his story serves more as a teaching purpose to lay out recovery methods. Psychology had us believing for decades that dysfunctional families were the minority and now we're learning that's just not so (although there is such a spectrum). Walker normalizes the real life consequences of managing C-PTSD 4-F defense mechanisms while showing that he's had a bountiful, busy life all the while. No quick fixes (only user directed processes), no minimization of long term and wide ranging effects of early abuse/neglect, and no fetishizing (idealizing genuine suffering as somehow exotic, cool, or fascinating) cloud his retelling. Early childhood attachment disorders frequently dog a person throughout life and take much perseverance often in multiple modalities of one's choosing to lessen and resolve the impact. Walker-- like most of us-- fumbled through both helpful and unhelpful ways of coping before truly identifying what's been missing in order to directly find ways of healing.I didn't rate this at 5 stars because 1) I didn't find his writing to be transforming enough for me to feel like I was right there in the people, places, things he experienced; 2) he didn't define his terms on calling his parents narcissistic (either having high narcissistic traits or bona fide narcissism-- and what that means to him); and 3) I think it can hinder a person's recovery to assume that the universe would randomly curse some people with bad parenting influences-- that as a spirit coming into form we had zero input whatsoever for what circumstances would set up our life here considerably. However, he did an excellent job of presenting himself as an everyman with on the ground human experiences instead of exclusively a successful white-collared professional therapist who somehow existed above the fray by the miracle of more elevated thought training than the clueless masses. Furthermore, he boldly called out organized religions and counseling professions for routinely shaming and misunderstanding the broad implications of the role of grief in the human person as felt naturally from all meaningful losses occurring throughout one's lifespan. Bravo! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Authentic Authority for Recovery From Childhood Trauma *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2022* Very few authors have connected with me in the way Pete Walker’s books have. His ability to personalize the experiences of Complex PTSD are truly unique in relating to others whose trauma leaves them feeling isolated and alone in a world seldom understood by the world around us. His ability to offer hope and healing for people with developmental suffering provides a roadmap to recovery that has been foundational in my own personal journey. It is a must-read for those of us whose lives have been impacted by the scars we bear from childhood trauma. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I found a storage house of tears that had been abandoned. *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2018* Thank you Pete Walker! I've recently started my long journey to recover from CPTSD. I have been looking for real true answers for a very long time. As a mature women I realize it's never to late. I'm not as scared to deal with all the pain and speechless horror as I used to be because of your books. Even though I know that I wasn't alone in the world with the traumas that I secretly hid, there was no one out there speaking about the tabo subjects.I have found a good therapist , when I called about my marriage problems., she says to me that she specializes in trauma patients, I thought, that's nice, as I smirked to myself, and wondered why she would tell me this. My goal in therapy was to learn to cry again, as numbness had become quite comfortable and angry was stepping up to bat. As she showed me your books and I begain to read your warm and transparent words, I begain to cry again, and laugh with you and hope again.I can't wait for my life to thrive as it was meant to be Thank you, thank you, thank you!Mistakes are my teachers. Every misstep is a chance to practice self-compassion. Pg. 228Ps. Your poetry is beautiful. Your adventures are encouraging. It's a true honor to know the deepest of Pete Walker through your words. Your journey is a gift to all of us that feel as if we were left stranded on the dark and lonely side of the roads of life.
