velsbooknook's review against another edition
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!

Das Buch ist gut, wichtig und warmherzig und ich bin froh, dass es auf dem Markt ist und sich gut verkauft. Ich habe mir aber mehr erwartet. Inhaltlich habe ich nichts auszusetzen, es fühlte sich nur immer wieder langatmig an. Mehr Struktur hätte dem Text gut getan. Das Buch verfolgt verschiedene Stränge: Die Therapiesitzungen von vier Patient*innen, den Weg der Autorin zur Psychotherapeutin und die Therapiesitzungen der Autorin bei einem anderen Psychotherapeuten. Zwischendurch werden immer wieder allgemeine Fakten und Erklärungen zur Psychotherapie, verschiedene bekannte Theorien oder Konzepte (z.B. von Freud, Frankl, Yalow oder Erikson) sowie Erinnerungen der Autorin an verschiedene Patient*innen eingewoben. Grundsätzlich waren alle Stränge interessant und hatte ihre Daseinsberechtigung. Für mich war das jedoch etwas viel und zu durcheinander. Ich hätte das Ganze lieber kürzer, kompakter und geordneter gelesen.dads2tired's review against another edition
