kaelaceleste's review against another edition
5.0
Probably won't surprise anyone that I loved this. A really intimate look into therapy and mental health without ever getting too scientific. A lot of things resonated with me almost too much and I'll probably bring some of it up with my own therapist. I really loved it.

What a wonderful book! I absolutely loved it.
So many things to say about it, here are a few in no specific order:
So many things to say about it, here are a few in no specific order:
- very well written
- A book that had me laughing out loud and sobbing, all the feelings in between included
- I loved how she managed to recount the conversations in a natural, lively yet well written way
- She did a great job on the pacing & story arc when telling her patients‘ stories (and I was wondering whether this was deliberate as well in regards to how the therapy process unfolds over time)
- She also explained a lot of theoretical concepts in an accessible way, making the book very informative
On a personal level, I found a lot that resonated with me. I stopped often, took time to think about what she wrote and took notes. It‘s a book that will stay with me for a while.
And I think, it‘s a book that you can read again at different stages of your life and get something different out of it each time.
