Other people have problems too

What I liked: the way thoughts and problems were written, they felt relatable even though they aren’t familiar; I enjoyed the writing.
What I didn’t like: the whole idea of a somewhat invasive feeling of the dr Rosen
Who I’d recommend this to: someone who’s going through being alone and lonely with or without a relationship. To understand that everyone has problems and often we’re not alone in our set of problems either

By the end of the book I could not believe that seven years had passed since the start of the book, although I do not think I could participate in this kind of therapy I appreciate the help it gave to the author and the experiences she had throughout the years

This isn’t a book about therapy you read as a “how-to”. The therapist at the center of the story is unconventional, enigmatic, probably unethical and completely entertaining. Basically, this was a fast paced peek into someone’s life and what they did to get through their issues. It’s not a self help book, it’s a slick memoir chock full of train wreck anecdotes and I couldn’t put it down.

This therapy feels really weird and not really ok…

This book is probably not for everyone, but I enjoyed it! It was nice to read about someone else’s journey through group therapy and hear that even people who might seem to “have it all together” still have wounds and issues that they need to work through. Many women will be able to connect to some aspect of the author’s story and relate.

Decent memoir about a young woman's experiences with group therapy while also working as an attorney at a big firm and navigating a series of slightly less disastrous relationships over the course of her years in therapy.

I liked the author's voice and her perspective on the utility of group therapy.
