Beyond Survival Reviews

4.0
“Glad I read this, and it did give me helpful things to think about. I wish it had given more examples from less extreme circumstances, where there is less clarity about abusers vs victims and about what would be just accountability. But I think it’s a great collection of tactical stories and I appreciated the emphasis that TJ is always an ongoing practice, not something you can perfect.”
