I don't understand why this book has this rating. It's boring, superficial, the therapist is a self absorbed drama queen. Having to wait a few months for a sperm donor is not the same as having two miscarriages... Also, she seems like a bad therapist. Avoiding confrontation and making everything about her... Ugh

Loved everything about it. It’s such an honest informative book. I was very invested in the different client stories. And it’s so easy and well written. Loved it.

emotional informative inspiring sad

 I was so intrigued by this book! A therapist needs a therapist after a life changing event. I know Lori also just is a normal human being like me and you, but it gave such an interesting point of view to therapy. 
First of all I listened to the audiobook and the narrator, Brittany Pressley did a phenomenal job. It was so easy to follow and while this book sometimes got very dark and heavy it was still very enjoyable to follow. 
I loved Lori's growth throughout the book and it was so exciting to read her thoughts and feelings. The work she did with her patients was inspiring and I very much enjoyed the way she interacted with and cared for them. John and Julie have a special place in my heart and I loved to follow their storylines so much, even though I shed some tears here and there.
The sessions with her therapist Wendell also were so incredibly well done, I simply loved all characters and their stories. 
This book was interesting, beautiful, inspiring and sad. I went to therapy last summer and while listening to the audiobook I realised how much it helped me. I was just talking to my husband yesterday that my therapist gave me the necessary tools to help with my anxiety and I'm doing so good right now. 
I feel like that is a book I maybe want to get a physical copy of someday and reread because there is so much knowledge and beauty in those pages. If you like this kind of memoir I highly recommend picking it up!
