I love this book sooooooo much! Lori, thank you for writing this book and everything you did for your patients. (I don't know why, but I just wanna say this out loud after read this book.)

A nice fun read.
If you are someone who loves to read about psychology, this is a must-read.
Lori is a professional psychotherapist who has used years of her experience to bring forward the different issues people endure.
I came across several human behaviors I didn't know existed.
Her writing style is quirky and funny which makes it an easy recommendation.

An absolutely wonderful read. I haven't stopped quoting anecdotes and things from this book to people since I read it two weeks ago. The idea that stood out to me most was, the magnitude of someone's pain does not fall on an absolute scale. However deep or profound the issue that the person is suffering from, the pain is real to them and that's all that should matter. Everyone has their own story, and everyone deals with love, loss, and the mundane in a variety of ways that others looking in might not be able to understand.
I loved reading this, just because of how relatable it was, and as someone newly introduced to the world of mental health and the value of therapy. Also kind of interesting to read about a therapist seeing a therapist - I have indeed, often wondered how they separate the happenings of their own mind with the part that is able to systematically process and treat that of others. A beautiful read, eye-opening toward the relativity of the scale of struggle.

A fantastic book that gives a viewpoint from both the couch, and behind the notepad. I recommend this book to people who don’t think “normal” or “healthy” people need therapy. News flash: everyone needs therapy sometimes, some more than others, but going to a therapist every once in a while is like getting a checkup at the doctor, or an annual cleaning at the dentist; it keeps everything healthy, and running like it should.
