In reply to Kris.

Thanks for sharing about Surrender to Love. I just got the Kindle sample.
I’m so sorry about your experiences with a troubled father. 🙁 The Body Keeps the Score does seem to make an impression like yours on so many people. It’s reaching a lot of people hopefully with a message that there is hope. Anxiety and depression run deep in my family too. I was wondering if I’d find clues about why as I read the book.

I’m slowly reading “Surrender to Love” by David Benner, which was sent to me by a friend I haven’t seen in some time but is one of the most spiritually gifted person i know.
I want to sharre my experience with The Body Keeps the Score, which I stopped reading after the first section– because it broke me into bits and pieces. Im one of 5 siblings, now ages 72-76, who grew up with a closet alcoholic, womanizing father. The youngest and I share a long experience of depression and anxiety. My older sister read the book and it didn’t resonate at all with her. The youngest had as meaningful an impact as I did.

In reply to Lesley. Oh, I love the title of that book, Lesley. Trying to keep control definitely does come with a price! Too often we brush that aside that cost to our own detriment (and by "we" I mean "I"). :)

I always enjoy your recommendations, Lisa! Some of these sound really interesting. Just now I’m enjoying The Cost of Control by Sharon Hodde Miller.

In reply to Jean Wise. My brain does get tired, but it needs the stimulation. lol. I just happened to run across the "100% Right" book when I was looking for Kindle Unlimited books. It was surprisingly good.

In reply to Joanne. It is a catchy title. :) The author did qualify his use of "crazy" in the book itself since he is a psychiatrist and "crazy" is not a word he uses with people.

I had to chuckle at the title Talking to Crazy; it sounds like you have a great grouping of books here!
