The Tears That Taught Me

It’s a very easy read with a PROFOUND IMPACT on those that are holding on to something long enough to know they need to let go to receive what gifts are in store for them. The words, passages, advice and insight changed me. Nine years of therapy and this book started to undo what I thought would never be undone. I recommend getting the workbook with it too. The literature is not difficult to consume. It’s a quick and very easy read but you will read it over and over again. The words will resonate with everyone differently. Yes, there are religious references but at the end of the day no matter how our religions differ we all have that greater power and faith we practice- it can be applied across that.

Easy read but so life changing for me. It truly helped me find my voice. I started highlighting things that to me were powerful. Then I realized that I was highlighting everything! I have read it again. That is how helpful this book is.

This book is a must read. Be aware that tears will flow.... They will be healing tears... I recommend this book highly!

I absolutely love this book!! Every page has a beautiful, meaningful poem that touches your soul. I love it!! Great gift for someone needing encouragement.

The book is a gift for a friend, so I can't comment on the writing. However, I am a stickler for a book's appearance if it is new and especially if it is a gift. The cover of the book looked somewhat mauled when it arrived, almost as if it had been wet, although I don't feel that was the case.

As a therapist, The Tears That Taught Me resonated deeply with my professional and personal experiences. The author’s raw and honest exploration of grief, resilience, and healing felt like a mirror reflecting the emotional journeys I witness in my clients.From the outset, the book draws you into a profoundly personal narrative that doesn’t shy away from the messy, complicated process of emotional recovery. The way the author articulates their pain and growth reminded me of the strength and vulnerability I encourage in my therapy sessions. It served as a poignant reminder of the human capacity for transformation through hardship.What stood out to me as a therapist was the emphasis on self-compassion and the gradual nature of healing. The author’s journey is a testament to the importance of giving oneself permission to feel, process, and eventually move forward. This aligns with the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy that I employ, where acknowledging and reshaping one’s narrative plays a crucial role in overcoming emotional challenges.The Tears That Taught Me is not only a powerful read for those navigating their grief but also a valuable resource for therapists seeking to deepen their empathy and understanding of the client’s inner world. The reflections and insights offered in the book have enriched my practice, reminding me to honor each client’s unique path to healing.This book is a heartfelt companion for anyone working through their pain or supporting others in doing so, making it a must-read for therapists and clients alike.

I love this book it drap me , I thought I was insane for just putting me first and walking away from anything that doesn’t serve my purpose. No drama no negativity and reading this book gave me an eye opener thank you
