It appears I’m the unpopular opinion but this book was hard to get through. It follows a bunch of different story lines of this therapist with her patients and I can definitely see the appeal but it was a bit boring for me.
For those who are close to me, you know how much I value taking care of your mental health and feeling good “in the inside”.
I have never hidden the fact that I’ve been to therapy multiple times, even when I was really young, and I didn’t really understand why people had such a bad stigma around it. As the author herself says in the book, we share all of our good news to everyone around us, but when it comes to the point of talking to other people about bad feelings and situations, we decide to keep to ourselves a lot of the time.
We are all humans, we all have problems, and it was amazing to read a book that breaks down the stigma surrounding mental health. It touched on so many important topics and I feel like it was a therapy in itself while reading it.
The book was overall incredible, but what made it a 5-star book for me was John’s, Rita’s, Julie’s and Charlotte’s stories. Lori’s patients gave a certain humanity to the book that I wasn’t expecting, I got attached to those people in a way I wasn’t expecting to when I first started reading it.
10/10 would recommend to everyone, such an important book!

I really enjoyed it until the end. The last chapter was very long and I felt like it didn't end properly.
I liked this. As someone currently seeing a therapist, what I liked most was hearing what it’s like to be on the other side of the room, so to speak. It’s only one person’s experience but she is a good writer and I think beautifully explained what it is like to walk in her shoes.
¡¡Mi libro favorito del 2024!!
No tengo palabras para describir lo mucho que me encantó. Si aún dudas de la importancia de la terapia, esta historia te hará cambiar de opinión. Cada capítulo es una maravilla; la autora logra que vivas y sientas cada palabra, hubo momentos en los que tuve que detenerme para reflexionar y procesar lo que estaba leyendo, lloré, me reí y volví a llorar..
¡Qué belleza de historia! Me sentí identificada tanto con la protagonista como con sus pacientes. Es, sin duda, para mí una carta de amor a la experiencia humana..
Lo disfruté muchísimo.

I loved this book! The stories picked to speak about were fascinating and loveable while also so relatable. It does make you want to start seeing a therapist and really reminds you of the struggles others face in their day to day lives.
Waited a while to read this book and now don’t know what to think. I was hoping for more humor and a different story. There were lessons learned and feelings validated but not
the story I was hoping for. Was thrilled when it was finished.
