Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life by Christie Tate

I tried to finish it. I really did.
Unfortunately, the horribly unethical and potentially harmful approach of the group therapy as it was presented made it impossible for me to continue reading without being filled with rage as a therapist.

I hope the author found her happy ending. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get past the awful therapy to find out.

The book is really good. An honest portrayal of healing and unconventional way of therapy. But the writing could have been better. But would highly recommend for anyone looking to read books on healing and therapy.

I really really really like this book. It reads like a fictional book at times you forget it’s non-fiction. It offers a unique perspective of someone’s POV while enduring the challenges of going through therapy and attempting to better their life. While reading Tate’s journey, you find yourself reflecting on similar experiences and wanting to join Rosen’s wacky group. While unconventional at times, you eventually see what therapy and hard work get you. I don’t say this a lot but I would reread this book and recommend to anyone feeling lost in their 20s.

Book #7 GROUP by, Christie O. Tate done ✅

I don’t think I have ever related so much to a memoir in my life. I typically don’t read memoirs just for the fact that sometimes I lose interest half way through because my mind just can’t find a connection to the author. Christie had me at the first chapter.

I was someone who thought relationships whether it be love or friendship was not a thing in the cards for me. Don’t get me wrong I felt “love” and had friendships but I always felt some type of loneliness. I felt like I was sitting in this GROUP and replayed all the times in my head I felt just like her and probably needed to hear all the things she was shown.

Did I make it? Yes I’m happy, I’m in love and have a family but I never knew it was because part of me was telling myself everything she had to be told.

Well done Christie Tate ✨
