About this listen
Mataio (Matt) Faafetai Malietoa Brown offers the men in his barbershop a haircut with a difference: a safe space to be seen and heard without judgement.
As the creator of My Fathers Barbers, 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 Matt and his wife, Sarah, to create the global anti-violence movement She Is Not Your Rehab.
In this book, Matt shares his own story and those of his clients: how they survived 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 listeners 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.

Most healing book I've ever read/heard
Would recommend this book to all men regardless of the trauma in their lives. Cuts to the core of some very difficult topics.

Powerful, Moving ... not what I expected!
If I'm honest, I was sceptical about reading this book, thinking that it would be a 'feel sorry for me because I abuse my wife' story but it is far from that. I thought I would give it a go and then stop a couple of listens in, however ...
Mataio (Matt) Faafetai Malietoa Brown is incredibly honest about his and other men's behaviour and poor treatment of others - mainly loved ones around them. Learning through his own journey to be able to deal with his own traumatic childhood, and through his barbershop in Aotearoa, Matt listens to his customers and offers his advice to the troubled souls that come for a haircut and so much more.
I cried at the heartbreak, nodded in agreement and laughed out loud at his and Sarah's (his wife's) frank and honest advice.
She is Not Your Rehab is hard-hitting but heartfelt. Although this book is aimed at men that are abusive to their loved ones - violent and non-violent - I think women should definitely read or listen to Matt and Sarah's words of wisdom, whether you are in or have experienced an abusive relationship, or indeed if you are the abuser or have witnessed the abuse being done. This book is very much about anti-violence and our negative behaviour, so we can all learn from it.
I listened to the audiobook version - great narration from Matt and his wife. If you read one book this year - make sure it's this one. So good!
