Patriarchy Stress Disorder is an interesting look at how women have been traumatized by the strict gender conformity standards in a patriarchy. I know "patriarchy" is a triggering word, as many people interpret it as "anti-men," but that couldn't be further from the truth. Men are negatively affected by the patriarchy as well (and I bet a topic for another book!).

Who should read this book? If you are woman wanting to find a course to happiness and fulfillment, but you feel stuck even after therapy and personal development work, you will find lots of helpful tips in this book.

Dr. Rein shares stories--both personal and from her clients--as well as pages of exercises to help you uncover and heal from your traumas.

Women, let's continue our healing journeys. We are worthy of happier lives!… (altro)
