Y’all, I have been through my fair share of self-help books, and while I went in skeptical, this has been truly helpful. This actually came into my life at the perfect time; while I’ve struggled with rumination for as long as I can remember, medicine and therapy have helped me control it (mostly). Unfortunately, I can get caught in a spiral fairly quickly, especially while in the midst of a medication change, like I was when I started reading this book. While this won’t help me battle show more my mental illness struggles overall, it definitely helped me gain better control over the ruminations that would intrude at night when I laid down to try and sleep. I was surprised at how seen I felt when I started reading. I worked through each page in the workbook as intended, and while you don’t have to use the pages included (you could just use a journal if you wanted), I appreciate that space was given. If, like me, you struggle to fall asleep at night because you’re stuck thinking about things that happened over and over, or find yourself trapped in negative thought patterns, then I definitely recommend at least giving this a try! show less

I just happened to find this book at a used book store a couple of days ago, and I'm so glad I bought it. Not only are these stories cute and funny, but a few of them make me feel better about myself and my parenting abilities. The rest, well, they sound vaguely familiar. ;)

Overall, 4.5 stars and something I have already recommended to other moms.
