I think this was a really courageous thing to publish but the book itself is not organized very well - it's transcripts of therapy sessions and some seemingly unrelated short essays - and the psychiatrist honestly didn't seem very helpful aside from prescribing medications.

everyone complaining about how bad the therapist is when when it was an uncannily accurate portrayal of my nhs therapy experience - i wish there was more of the postscript reflection, but i think that might have been another book then

Started off strong but didn't really go anywhere for me. Not a lot of new revelations for someone who has done quite some work on mental health already. Idk, maybe I was just not the target audience.

One thing though - sometimes I found the conversations so weird?? Very often either Sehee or the Psychiatrist will say something that seems completely out of context or out of pocket, and it doesn't get adressdd, and the conversation moves on. And they often change topics super randomly, at least in my perception. Idk if it's the editing, or if they were actually like that?? But it made it feel less real, which broke the whole ~flow~ for me.
