   As an adult now intellectually aware that I'm a product of intergenerational complex PTSD, it was Alice Miller who led me to Ruth Cohn's book which added depth and direction for me. Not being a clinician, I still could not put the book down and highlighted the essential points that apply to a client's growth. If I engaged a therapist where I live, a Ruth Cohn would be what I'd want. Two challenges to the text are (1) the failure to clean up the punctuation, and (2) the author's sentence structure often begins with a clause leaving me hanging out there in wait of the subject and verb to get to the point. Perhaps we have different levels of comprehension, but the knowledge is there even if I need to read a sentence or two a couple times. I truly value this informative book, and will come back to it as I journal and digest Pete Walker's book which is better directed in layman's terms towards my needs to both intellectually and emotionally understand and approach my situation.
