"""Dr. Guha's book is like therapy, activism, and a pep talk all rolled into one. Whether you're stressing about the state of the world or just trying to level-up your own life, she's got your back. It's all about taking baby steps to make big leaps--not just for you but for the world at large. So, give it a read and prepare to be the change you've been waiting for."" --Chantelle Otten, sexologist and author of The Sex Ed You Never Had ""Give this book as a gift to someone you love who is struggling--and that might be yourself. I already know this book is going to live on my bedside table. Dr Guha puts language and frameworks to help order the mess in our heads and hearts. Life Skills for a Broken World is grounding, consoling, and so practical."" --Benjamin Law, author of The Family Law and Gaysia 'An easily digestible book showing how to build a better framework for mental health, plus useful chapters on the concepts of radical acceptance and setting boundaries. It's an easy read without being full of woo-woo nonsense: a rare feat for a self-care manual.' --Isabel Berwick, Financial Times Praise for Reclaim: ""Powerfully, accessibly, and with a clinician's depth of detail, Dr Guha writes directly about the violence we prefer to drape in darkness. She shows that it is only by seeking to understand its causes and consequences that we can work towards creating safer, fairer communities. I'm grateful to her for this illuminating, and urgently necessary, book."" --Sarah Krasnostein, author of The Trauma Cleaner and The Believer Praise for Reclaim: ""Reclaim gave me a better understanding of my own trauma. Huge gratitude to Dr Guha for this well-crafted book ... A must-read for everyone."" --Veronica Gorrie, author of Black and Blue Praise for Reclaim: ""In a world that so often turns away from the complexities of trauma and abuse, this book turns towards them ... Reclaim is a game-changer."" --Chris Cheers, psychologist and author of The New Rulebook"
