I have now read this incredible book three times... Why? Because, just like with any profound insight in the written form, we glean a greater depth of understanding with every single reading. As a survivor of extreme trauma that almost cost me my life, physically and psychologically with acute PTSD and recurrent acute suicidal ideation, "This Isn't Working for Me" helped me with that seemingly innavigable historical context in my now very complicated 69-year accumulation perception and reaction. I felt like the book had been written SPECIFICALLY for me... but in that evaluation (knowing of course that these two doctors didn't know me from "Adam"), I found affirmation and consolation in knowing I am by NO means alone in my human existence with the maladies I face and have faced when confronting my own psyche. I cannot recommend this book enough. I predict that not only will you read it, learn from it, develop uncanny insights from it -- but you will (like me) read it again. I found myself "starring" and underlining throughout... to note those key aspects I wanted to return to reconsider... There is not one page of that book that is devoid of my blue ink! Five stars... I'd give it 10 if I had the option. Many thanks to Drs. Ilene S. Cohen and Edrica D. Richardson. How did I find them? I follow Dr. Ilene on Facebook and look forward to her insights and posts every day!
