For fans of 'Something's Wrong with the Galvins', 'The Body Keeps the Score', and 'It Didn't Start with You'. Journalist Stephanie Foo's poignant memoir about a difficult childhood and a fascinating medical investigation that offers hope of healing for those suffering from PTSD. In her childhood, Stephanie knew exactly why her mother was always upset. The reason for her 'misfortunes' was always the same - little Stephanie. She accepted her mother's psychological and physical abuse as normal. Stephanie learned about her diagnosis at the age of 30 - complex post-traumatic stress disorder. In this deeply personal story, the author recalls her life with her parents, stories of grandparents, returns to her hometown to uncover family secrets, uses scientific material and research, interviews scientists and psychologists, tries innovative treatment methods. All of this helps to understand people with PTSD and show how trauma can be passed down through generations. And to make the main conclusion: healing is possible. 'A heart-wrenching story of a cruel childhood and a fascinating medical investigation that offers hope to those suffering from PTSD.' - Lori Gottlieb, author of the bestseller 'Maybe You Should Talk to Someone'. 'The book is a page-turner, despite the complex, even heavy topic. How many people around us could write a childhood story like this! And, unfortunately, very few have reached out to a specialist, spent time, money, and emotional strength on therapy. Let these chapters help those in need understand and name what happened to them, as well as take the first steps towards healing from trauma.' - Elena Sivkova, editor-in-chief of Psychologies.
