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

Written by a 20 something Korean woman about her struggles with depression & self-judgment. A helpful read for cross cultural mental health issues.

I think this book has been a bit over hyped. It is a very honest therapy journal, of course, and it definitely gave me insights also about my own mental health. I don't think one should see this as a self help book and I don't think it becomes as deeply introspective as it could.

“The important thing here isn’t whether you are being loved, it’s how you will accept the love that comes your way.”

This is such an easy read that I definitely did enjoy but lowkey question the main character too. I mean, it was definitely explained by the psychiatrist why she's acting and feeling that way but it was too much. Although who am I to judge when I don't know what's happening inside those four walls in therapy. I did enjoy the realizations because it does answer some of the questions I have for myself or for others. What let me down is the "after therapy" part of the book. So around 40 pages of the book? It was just random stuff she's thought of that maybe had affected how she came to be. I would definitely recommend this to people who are in therapy or simply just feeling down. Just so they know that it's normal.
