39: WeAreNotSaved reviews Abigail Shrier’s Bad Therapy, which reminded me to also check out Ozy Brennan’s excellent review of same. This is interesting enough that I might write a post on it. I think both ignoring/repressing trauma and exaggerating/spotlighting trauma are potentially dangerous, and that someone needs to invent the art of successfully navigating the space between them (I don’t think mainstream psychiatry has this art, though it does have pieces of it).
