Worth It!
Stephanie Foo was successful on paper by the time she was thirty years old. She had a loving boyfriend and her ideal job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life. But every morning, she was crying at her desk and experiencing panic attacks behind her office door. She spent years wondering what was wrong with her, and eventually a diagnosis of complex PTSDâ�"a disorder that arises when trauma occurs repeatedly over an extended period of timeâ�"was made. After years of physical and verbal abuse, as well as neglect, Foo's parents left her when she was a teenager. Though she had assumed she had moved on, her recent diagnosis revealed the ways in which her past still posed a threat to her career, relationships, and health. I had also reviewed this book on shabd.in and kindle.
