I am now reading three books: Life in my mind: 31 Authors … , edited by Jennifer …

In addition, I am re-reading Chris Crutcher’s book, Chinese Handcuffs.

The third book, simultaneously yet in spurts, I am also reading Irvin Yalom. MD’s book, The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a new Generation of Therapists and their patients.

A note about Dr. Yalom’s book, Reader. If you are in therapy, this is a MUST read, in my opinion. Aimed at helping both the patient and the practitioner travel together for the patient to find value and respect within both themselves and their history.


I have read:

I write about my mental health, domestic abuse (in the form of emotional abuse via gaslighting) to advocate and empower others. My shame has held me hostage for too long, as have my abusers and mental health. I am enough. I matter. I am a survivor and a warrior in ways the average person, thankfully, cannot understand.
