Boy. This chapter, an extension of "Pathological," isn't so bad, but Chapter 7, outrightly dissing on group therapy, and Chapter 8, at the core of shape-shifting ... the recovery movement includes medications, but .... ignores why people get those medications? Congrats. My review of "Pathological" just dropped a star.

I love that your experience is different and you disagree. This is just my experience. I don’t “diss” group therapy. I never say anything against it. It can be very helpful for some people. I’m not sure what you mean about medication, but it was very helpful to me. This isn’t an advice book; it’s a memoir. Recovery is different for each person. We all need to go through it our own way and respect each other’s journey. If you ding books a star every time they don’t match your views and experience, you must be busy! You can disagree with a book and still appreciate its artistry and the way the author tells her story. Still, I appreciate you reading and taking the time to express your opinion.
