This book is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Lori is a great writer and I appreciated how honest she was about her experiences. I loved this book and I love the author even more. This book met me where I was at if I was in the middle of a reading slump. Especially because I’m currently participating in therapy, this book gave me a different perspective of what therapy looks like from both sides of the couch.

As a therapist - this is a pretty honest reflection of what it's like being a therapist. 

There is nothing ground breaking or new from a professional standpoint. But it is good story telling. 

And yes, clients do impact us in this way. I definitely found myself thinking of my past and present clients and the impacts they've made on me.

This book does it all - provides inviting and relatable insights into what therapy is like, humanizes providers and clients and the vulnerability of each, and is deeply moving in portraying the human experience. Relatable, lovely, and hopeful.

I loved this book so much I recommended it to my own therapist…

The stories are brilliantly woven together - Lori as patient, Lori as therapist, and the (anonymized) stories of her patients. All experience major growth and a true character arc through their vulnerability. 

The book also shows how vulnerability  is a muscle; we can’t be honest with others until we learn how to be honest with ourselves. 

Also enjoyed the memoir elements about the author’s career changes and major life choices, and how those choices informed her present self. 

Highly recommend and would re-read.

As a newly licensed clinician I took so much from this book, which was not what I expected. This was more than an entertainment read, it was cathartic. I took notes. Amazing read. Would recommend this to therapists and non therapists alike.
