Kiera Van Gelder, MFA, author of the highly acclaimed memoir, The Buddha and the Borderline This book offers you a set of skills from someone who has been there. These are not theoretical experiences but instead the help and reflections that come from someone who has been there to those going through real-time struggles. A great addition to the literature.
