The book felt more like a rough draft than a finished product. I did like a lot of the material though.

challenging emotional reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

5⭐️ for me because i resonated a lot with the author. it was a challenging read for me because as i got through the first few chapters, i felt resentful that i never got to meet a therapist like hers. i felt validated and seen through her shared experiences. a difficult read, but i made it and it was worth it.

Ik heb dit boek uitgelezen redelijk laat op de avond maar it hits so hard. Ik denk dat er weinig mensen zijn die zich niet herkennen in het hoofdpersonage, al is het maar voor enkele zinnen of gedachten die ze deelt met ons. Het lef om je eigen zo bloot te durven leggen door je therapiesessies neer te pennen is om jaloers op te zijn als je het mij vraagt. Fascinerend ook om het stukje te lezen dat van de therapeut zelf komt. Dit boek is zelfreflectie op zovele vlakken: als lezer, als schrijver, als patiënt, als therapeut, ... 
Zeker een aanrader voor iedereen die misschien wel nog door het leven geraakt, maar de manier waarop toch moeilijker lijkt dan voor anderen. Je bent niet alleen.

The concept was cool, but in practice, I didn’t like how the book was arranged. Each chapter was a random combination of commentary and conversation, making it hard to follow at times, and it was unclear what the timing of the sessions looked like relative to each other. Also, the last chapter suddenly switched gears into short essays, which I didn’t like. Additionally, as a therapist myself, Sehee’s therapist was giving so much advice and perspective packaged as truth that I did not agree with.

dhiby's review against another edition

emotional inspiring reflective relaxing slow-paced

3.5

definitely a good and chill read from someone who wants to understand (a less extreme) depression, with an asian pov. 

the psychiatrist did mention that the situation could have been handled better but personally i could not see how but obviously im not a licensed psychiatrist.
