The author makes frequent comparisons of her addiction to erotic novels to the sometimes potentially fatal addictions of her clients. There is a lot of speculation about what her clients "mean" when they say certain things--why not just ask them?? I did specifically listen to the audiobook version narrated by the author, and her tone and word choice while describing some of her previous clients is downright cruel. I would be mortified to learn that a professional I had reached out to for help had secretly been viewing me this way.
Also, a lot of talk about how people in contemporary society are over medicated and how stopping meds can be great seems highly irresponsible coming from an MD. That combined with a lot of uncritical cheerleading for A.A. makes this not a read for me. Skip this one, and talk to a licensed professional about your specific case if you're having questions about medication for mental health reasons.
