I really enjoyed this book. The language is very simple and accessible and Lori Gottlieb introduces theoretical concepts in a digestible way. I would recommend this book primarily to people without a psychology background, who may be afraid of engaging with therapy or making the first step to seek professional help. The author moves through past and present, her training experiences and her cases to her own traumas and personal therapy. As a trainee clinical psychologist, I saw myself in her reflections multiple times, and she prompted me to reflect more on my own experiences of therapy. In one of her chapters she explores resistance, and the information associated with that resistance to explore or discuss certain topics in therapy. My experience of personal therapy and treating others often tells me that where there is resistance there is also pain, or fear.  Resistance provide answers to questions we may not feel ready to ask ourselves. I would say this book provides space to reflect and explore the opportunity to change.

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.
