Reading Reel Therapy reminded me that understanding life isn't a destination, it's a process, and that I'm not alone in wrestling with childhood demons, and some very adult ones as well. Reading the review of The War at Home took me back to growing up in a neighborhood that was a war zone, memories I can never escape, but at least I can understand. Reading about Trainspotting took me back to my own need to be someone else, anyone else, for a few hours, at whatever cost.
Reel Therapy offered a stronger view of Dr. Solomon's own journey. For me, his background as a survivor means he knows what it's like to take that first step out of a dark box into a scary world.
I'm sure this book will help many take that first step.
