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.

I was really excited to read this book as someone who has been treated for depression and anxiety - and had a rocky go of it. But I found it to be kind of lacklust and boring, and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because I felt like I'd already had similar conversations and revelations with my own therapist? I don't know.

Honestly… just see BooksUnbound's book club episode for most of my thoughts. They said it best! But seriously, this was interesting, but too dry and clinical to get at a lot of the personal parts I was hoping for. But I'd be interested in reading a memoir from this author… as I always am :)
