I just love knowing what other people talk about in therapy (And how it could maybe help me!)

**PERSONAL BOOK REVIEW**
Intensely brutal, but insightful memoir of five patients treated by a clinical psychologist.
the different insights into therapy. This book is similar,yet also different.
If you're going to choose to read this book, realize that it has many things discussed in detail that could be triggering and traumatic. One of the cases in particular is pretty detailed with the sexual abuse of a child and it was heartbreaking and gut-wrenching for me and I'm not personally affected by it.
The book details five different patients treated by
Catherine Gildiner, patients she considers "heroes" because they endured horrible things in their lives and were able to come out better on the other side. I found many of the insights fascinating, especially about intergenerational trauma and the path that therapy needs to take in order to be ultimately successful.
I'm glad I read this memoir, but it won't be a book for everyone due to the intense subject matter.

The first nonfiction book I’ve read in a while! This was gripping, really heavy at times, but ultimately really really good.
