Hi all,
This chapter deals with issues such as self-harm and depression so if you're sensitive to this topic then I suggest only reading the first half of this chapter or perhaps skipping straight to the end of the chapter.
Also, this chapter corresponds with chapters 3 and 35 of 'The Broken One' and chapter 22 of 'The Silent One' so I suggest rereading those chapters to refresh your memory :)
