Dr. Daniel Amen referenced the book during an appearance on On Purpose with Jay Shetty in an episode titled DO THIS Everyday To Completely Heal Your BODY & MIND, released on September 26, 2022. While discussing childhood trauma scores and psychological healing, Dr. Amen mentioned that his wife grew up facing severe adversity and documented those harrowing experiences in her book.
