I had heard that this book was good, but I didn't realize how good it was.  It's more than a memoir.  In the book, the author explains her issues and how she worked them out during therapy and her patients' therapies.  She also introduces many psychology concepts in a much more interesting way than a Psychology 101 class.  Be warned:  the terminally ill young woman she works with until her death is life-affirming and heartbreaking.

Beautiful and introspective, I really enjoyed how the book reflected my own experiences with therapy. The audiobook was a particularly moving listen. The author has a really great story telling quality that made it hard to stop listening to. It was one of those “I cringed, I laughed, I cried,” experiences, raw and capturing the essence of what it means to be human, and to go through the process of being vulnerable while trying to improve yourself with a stranger.
