The Title of the book is so relevant for anyone who is alive😉

Revisado: 05-12-24

I picked up this book because I had a huge fight with my oldest daughter last night. It was the absolute worst experience I believe both of us had. Of course I held onto my anger until my overwhelmed mind burst into flames! I was out of control raging and pacing around my little room in the Care Center aka A place that old people have been dumped off in so nobody has to be responsible to care for their needs. Overthinking is my life of hell on earth and has caused me to seek the solitude of my own death. I am aware that I have driven myself to the point of no return because all I do is think mostly because I have lost my self respect, if I ever had any. Most of all I want out of my own skin and mind. I was drawn to this book because it jumped up and slapped me back into reality that I was aware of but ignored because it was so simple it had to be another snake oil cure, I have never in my life read read anything so obviously true that it had to be wrong. While you are listening to the authors voice speaking to you in a enlightened way without making me feel like this concept he was talking about is bound to be impossible to wrap your mind around. In the beginning of the introduction the author says this book is going to change your life! I was thinking yeah yeah how many times have I heard that before. I swear to all the forces that be, I have had such weight lifted from my mind, the deepest parts of me were allowed to surface and reassure me of my right to love myself and live in this present state of mind enjoying everything that I can see around me. Best advice for you is don't think about reading this book, just read it now, as soon as you click buy this book, grab the earbuds sit down or lay down and let Joseph take you to the place that you never knew existed. I am completely out of control writing this review. I cannot help it. He was so right. it's changed my life, and I am completely drained and grateful for my freedom. Thank you Joseph. I hope to be able to get your next book in the series asap. Love and Laughter to all. Debra C

My tead told from the other side

Revisado: 04-03-22

The father narrator is the first time I have heard from the “other “ side. I was an abused woman who never had a voice to help me understand. That is why this book means so I
I am able to actually see a man who has been doing the things I know that are righteous and good. No Bible thumping, it’s just so weird that it has been right in front of me and my fear of my control of myself and becoming vulnerable are not easy. But from the start of the book until the last page, I was overwhelmed usll of the lessons that I missed when my Daddy died early and he and I had some things to say to each other . Thank you for your book and know that you have helped someone who is 63 but I forget about it until MS remindd me. Even through the visit with Seth inspired the one thing I needed to do is to share your blessing with people who have no ome. I am here to say that my biggest complaint is that the children have turned away from me and I have no one. Loneliness is the worst thing I have ever had to deal with.

I’m under the care of a psychiatrist for a long time. I have Major Depressive Disorder that has taken a lot of changes to mix and match to finally be able to breathe without thinking about it. Thank you for your kindness and vocation.

Made my experience happier

Revisado: 05-31-21

I am Grandmommy of a 25 week premature little guy. At 1 pound 7 oz his chances were not great but he was flown to the best hospital in the area with the best NICU we could have hoped for. My son is different from me in that he gets very tough when faced with a hard issue especially when he has no control over the outcome. I am extremely positive in these situations and that drives him nuts. He listened to Momma when I was finally able to see my new grandson after he was a bit more stabilized. Anthony went to introduce his son to his Grandmommy and through the tears we held onto each other and I couldn’t allow the moment to get something uncomfortable in case little Cage left us, so I thought it was time for laughter and said to my son, Oh Lord Anthony he looks just like you, better get a better job if he eats like a linebacker like you did from birth . He told me later that when I said that he knew everything would be fine. The Daddy in this story was so lovely innocent and almost embarrassingly naive. I loved the honesty of his entire experience from being a part of a agreement with the mother that we were just having fun and we are not going to do anything traditional and end up ruining our lives especially with our child at stake. What a man to step in and eventually see his daughter instead of a “messed up child “ I loved the entire book. Such a great story in times when we often feel that Dads don’t have a real role in the child’s life in the beginning of life.

I knew that this would be enlightening but…

I, like many others have a younger brother who is addicted to this drug and every other drug he has been able to bully the doctors writing him an Rx for a certain drug that he has said he needs for whatever illness, disease or something else that he has found the symptoms of and the really sad thing is that I watched him do that to himself just so he prove that he qualified as disabled so he can collect the benefits. I found out about 10 years ago I have had undiagnosed MS since my teens but other than the fact that I was always tripping over my own feet and my nickname was “Grace”, I never had any problems. But my brother found out and all of a sudden he was pretty sure he had MS too. I was always adamant about never taking anything that was an opiate drug. And I made sure that my PC was aware of that and why. We tried to find other ways to help my pain but it was just not going away. Unfortunately recently I have had to give up the aspirin and a nap for the burning pains in my spinal column and I was sent to a wonderful doctor to assist me with management of the pain. I explained my feelings about the opiates and that I was open to anything else that he could offer me. Unfortunately I have no choice but to take an opiate medication for my pain. He explained that it was a drug that he gives to his patients who need help but they have become addicted to OxyContin in the past and are no longer taking that medication and they are doing well with the same thing as I am taking. So far I am doing well but I am really sorry that almost every family has been touched by the sickness that only greed is able to get away with. I have known so many people that had so much potential for a long life of happiness but a family of psychopaths stole the lives of so many people that believed that their doctor knew best and I am pretty sure that the majority of our family doctors had been duped just like we were. Thank you sir for your insights and the way you showed such reverence for the victims and kindness to the families who have been harmed by the people that I always said lived under my bed, yes they are real life monsters in the world.

How do these people do these things

Revisado: 11-22-20

I am not a New Yorker but I’m not uninformed. At least that’s what I thought. Wow what a shame to watch the disgraceful pandering to anyone who has something he wants. There are no levels too low for him. I have to believe that he has suffered from a mental illness of some sort or just as happens to people of a certain age his faculties have failed to some extent.

I thought I heard everything, but NOPE..

Revisado: 01-06-20

"If You Tell" is a real horror story. As a fan of true crime, I'm slightly jaded. It takes a lot to make me furious as this. These young girls and cousin suffered the most abuse by a parent that I've imagined. I survived horrific abuse of every type. My father was forefront in my mind as Shelly changed her rules constantly, therefore, allowing Shelly to wrought her sick wrath. Every whipping felt as if I was physically experiencing their torment. I finished this book several days ago but was so caught up with these girls' lives, imagining their fortitude and courage. I had to shake myself and stop my nightmares recurring nightly. Ladies, I am so very amazed at your strength of character that had to be instinctual not taught. Each one of you is a rarity understanding of what it is to live through this horror.

I have never read anything that I could say related to my personality and experiences. As a girl I was raised to believe my job was to do as I was told and if my marriage failed it was because I didn’t do the right thing. After years of seeking answers to the question “what am I doing wrong?” Why does my family feel everything I have been though is my own fault “You made your bed, lie in it “ It’s your own fault. As an adult I have sought out doctors, therapists etc who had compassion and kindness for those who are suffering wounds and scars are not visible therefore are easily dismissed and drugs are the go to fix. I knew there must be a more intelligent approach in treating those who are easily dismissed as inconvenient, and more. Thanks to this book, I feel validated and appreciated if by no one else in the medical community, the author helped me feel like I was not the one who was at fault. I understand more than ever how to see clearly those who I need to guard against. I can’t thank the Doctor enough for this book.

Dry and clinical

Revisado: 09-15-18

I am always looking for new novels written by Mental Health professionals, and normally I am thrilled to find some new insight into the workiings of the pathological brains of differently wired minds, very different, and yet not so different, from our own brains.. Unfortunatly this was not one of those books. First the book was very hard to listen to. The author should have allowed someone with more experiemce in narration. Dr Morrison is, by no means, uninformed, uneducated and her material was very insightful at certain moments, but unfortunately nothing that hasn't already been written about and using the same recycled research and information. The book was obviously well researched, but her deivery was very clinical and dry, making listening difficult. I was hoping for something much more interesting.
Happy Listening Always,
Miss D

With Stephen King's genetics, expect weirdness.

Revisado: 08-21-16

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I believe that the author needs to develop his own special style. He definitely has talent but it is not original,

Has NOS4A2 turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not at all. I love remembering the monster under the bed feeling.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

She was okay but I am not a fan of the imitation accents unless you are very good at it. The narrator was not.

Did NOS4A2 inspire you to do anything?

Not really, except maybe get a little more impatient to get next months credit.

Any additional comments?

I hope this author continues to grow and I will look forward to hearing more from him.
