.
While reading this book, I often wondered what parts were fiction and what were real to be able to protect the privacy of her patients and therapist. As someone who is in therapy, I enjoyed seeing/reading about therapy from the therapists point of view. I loved the learning aspect of the book, understanding what tactics therapists use and how - not that every therapist uses every tactic mentioned in this book, but it was nice to see. I especially enjoyed reading about termination, how we carry these relationships with us even after termination of the relationship. I would recommend this book to certain people, but can understand why it wouldn’t catch other people’s interest!

About life death, love and the therapists in between.
I would recommend this book to anyone curious about or suspicious about the thereputic process as this very funny and extremely moving memoir gives a fascinating insight from both sides of the couch.
As humans we are all frail but we can be so resistant too. This book shows us how.
