A bit of a mixed bag of a book that doesn't quite know what it is. There's a fair amount of practical information in here that doesn't really fall under the umbrella of self-care, while some chapters focused on talking about issues at a level so high there wasn't any practical advice. That said, a lot of the high level discussion was affirming and reassuring. Some sections, especially on eating and body image, had great practical suggestions.
