[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a nutshell, can you describe the book and why it’s controversial? Your subject title intrigued me.[/quote]

I'm not OP but I did read the book.  In a nutshull, the author took psychadelics in therapy and through that experience claims to have uncovered long-repressed memories of her being SAed when she was in high school.[/quote]

I think it was middle school, but was it true. That's what I don't get.

And she's a billionaire why make it up. [/b]

I guess I'm confused is it a grift or what is the expose about.[/quote]

I haven't read the book, but I did read the NY Times article. My guess is that she really believes she was assaulted. [/quote]

Yeah I think grift is the wrong lens to see this through. She believes she was assaulted. Her foundation for that belief is nonsense, recovered memories from using drugs isn't real, but I doubt she's consciously lying.[/quote]

DP. There’s a huge leap between believing something happened to writing and publicizing a book about it. She didn’t need to do that. [/quote]

Of course. I'm not defending writing this book. I don't think I would have made that choice, even if I believed as she believes. I was just offering an opinion on what it seems to me that she thinks is going on.[/quote]
