This document presents excerpts from book reviews of Alice Miller's work, The Truth Will Set You Free: Overcoming Emotional Blindness and Finding Your True Adult Self, as reviewed by Carol Redding. The reviews highlight Miller's core argument that childhood trauma, particularly early neglect and violence, profoundly impacts adult emotional and physical well-being. Miller posits that unconditional obedience demanded of children can lead to the abandonment of their true selves, a concept supported by neurobiological research on memory storage. The text explains how these unprocessed childhood experiences can manifest as "emotional blindness" and perpetrate harm, even within fields like medicine and psychotherapy. Ultimately, Miller proposes the crucial role of "helping witnesses" and "enlightened witnesses" in supporting individuals to confront their past and achieve healing, a sentiment echoed by Redding's personal experiences with such figures.

This an open source project and as I am an independent researcher, this needs further collaboration with those in the field. I am quite astonished that I have got this far on my own.
