I felt so seen and understood while reading this! I plan to come back to this book often as a new comfort read, and it’s definitely a favorite for July!
This is an important book for many and I’ll be recommending it often

I reason why I liked it. It's real!!! There are some REAL issues talked about that we don't exactly talk about; we don't even acknowledge let alone accept that we have these issues!!
Another reason why I loved this book is because the book is a real reflection of how therapy works. You do get better. But it is not a linear path, for one. There will be ups and downs. You get rid of bad behaviours but they do creep in at times. and that is absolutely okay. Secondly, not every issue you have gets solved in therapy, all at the same time. You do deal with some and resolve a few of them. Therapy is a journey and they have depicted really well in this book.
I wasn't a fan of this book because I wish the psychiatrist would've been better at responding. They seemed a bit manipulative because they said things about the author/client in a such conviction that they author/client who is in a vulnerable state believed their every word. Also, I wish the psychiatrist would've been less of explaining what is going on what kind of a person the author/client is and more of being a guide to the author/client. Like letting the author/client explore themselves especially because the author/client is very introspective and mindful of their behaviours and some triggers.
I did want to love this book. But unfortunately I didn't. But there are really good quotes in this book that have marked so that I can go back and read them.
