Especially given that she still harms herself from time to time. I think she is now 18 mths without self-injury.Talia Manahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08021644688776666185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31529261.post-48943112509720644002007-10-10T20:19:21.152+13:002007-10-10T20:19:21.152+13:00This sounds like a very interesting book - one that I would be definitely interested in reading myself, but I have one question. I don't know if you self-injure, so could answer that, but do you believe the book could be triggering? As a recovered self injurer and recovered(ing?) eating disorder person, I first must question if it would hurt more than help to read a book. You said that she speaks plainly about the injuries? That can be very triggering for some, among other things. But I think ANY book out there would be good - far too few recognize the roblem, and far to few care. What with the sudden "popularity" *cringe* of eating disorders and self injury, it is either privatized or trivialized, and seldom recognized as what it really is - a very hard, very private, very painful, and very real thing. Anyway, my comments and question(s).Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05288916590604922203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31529261.post-50718520849279514202007-10-08T11:17:44.198+13:002007-10-08T11:17:44.198+13:00Memoirs are such an important window into another person's mind. So I am intrigued by your review and recommendation of this memoir, to help me understand the author's experience as she struggles with the impulse to self-destruction. Thanks so much for offering these detailed observations. The book is going on my list.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Jerry Waxler<BR/><A HREF="http://www.memorywritersnetwork.com/blog" REL="nofollow"> Memory Writers Network </A>Jerry Waxlerhttp://www.memorywritersnetwork.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31529261.post-68937766164304632082007-09-17T12:37:00.000+12:002007-09-17T12:37:00.000+12:00I already feel sorry for her. The things she went through under her father's care was simply heartbreaking.Pathttp://www.myhealthylifestylecenter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31529261.post-52701839256667660832007-09-15T17:36:00.000+12:002007-09-15T17:36:00.000+12:00Interesting book. I never thought anyone would harm themselves. But considering what has been through, I think it makes a lot of sense.Yolandahttp://www.ez2befit.comnoreply@blogger.com
