I’m not one for “self help books”, but this was recommended to me and I honestly really enjoyed it. A good reminder that no one is perfect, it’s okay to not be okay, and sometimes you need therapy (even as the therapist)

I started this book when I found out my brother has a tumor in his kidney and when I decided to finally quit my toxic job. I'd been trying to find a therapist for months but gave up. Needless to say this book was everything to me in this moment of my life. I sobbed, I laughed, I ached, I learned. This book really did feel like therapy and it felt amazing!

This is a must read! I cried and laughed. I got so caught up in Lori’s life and the lives of her patients. It helped me reflect on my therapy (past and present). I read a copy from the library but I plan to buy my own copy. While reading it again I want to highlight, make notes and journal the emotions that come up for me.
Selected for the Read Harder challenge to "read a book that demystifies a common mental illness," and on the strong recommendation of a co-worker. I enjoyed the read and could readily see its value for readers seeking to understand anxiety, depression, cognitive distortions, and the stigmas around mental illness and therapy.
