Title: This Book Offends Me
Review: No one who has been betrayed and made to suffer by someone they loved and trusted is ever "taking it too personally". It doesn't matter why the betrayer did it. It doesn't matter how often similar things have happened to other people. When my ex-boyfriend hurt me, it was personal because he knew that what he was about to do would hurt me, I told him it would hurt me, I begged him not to do it, and he did it anyway. My hurt is a visceral reaction to his behavior, not to whatever his motivation may have been, and he certainly is to blame for it.The author would likely argue that my "perspective" is not helping me to heal, but I would argue that any alternative "perspective" he might offer is just a distortion of the truth. I don't think the author's method could help me to heal either. I cannot force myself to magically not be hurt when someone has hurt me. I need time to get over it.
