Publisher Description
At My Fathers Barbers, Mataio (Matt) Faafetai Malietoa Brown offers men a haircut with a difference: a safe space to be seen and heard without judgement.
From his barbershop chair, Matt has inspired a new generation of New Zealand men to break free from the cycle of abuse — and those men have in turn inspired him and his wife, Sarah, to create the global anti-violence movement, She Is Not Your Rehab.
In this raw and unflinching book Matt shares his own story and those of his clients, of surviving family violence and abuse, and how they were able to find healing and turn their lives around. He introduces the people and concepts that have helped him heal, and gives readers the tools they need to begin their own journeys.
She is Not Your Rehab demonstrates the power of vulnerability and honesty in addressing pain and shame, and shows how anyone can empower themselves by taking responsibility for their own healing.
Customer Reviews
This should be on your reading list if not already.
Absolutely loved this book. It continually inspired me throughout the book and continues todo so, to take responsibility for my own life and the trauma I endured. I was never physically abused but emotionally abuse and the breaking down of boundaries was a norm for me growing up. Hearing Matt’s story and recognizing my own story within his spooked me at first. He gives voice to our experiences that most often never see the light of day. I believe the work he is doing to create safe spaces for men to heal is a much needed in this world and this book offers that safe space for us readers. Thank you Matt and Sarah Brown for this amazing book.
