This book changed my life

I enjoyed the time I spent reading this book, but I think I had other expectations. Having read other books in this style before made me want to explore my emotions more and go deeper into my personal reflections. I didn't really find what I was looking for in this book. However, I really enjoyed the fact that therapeutic sessions were transcribed in writing, it really shows an acceptance of being vulnerable and that we are all human after all.

whilst i admire the bare faced honesty.......this isnt a good BOOK. it's reflective and thought-provoking as an essay on how to understand the self, and dysthymia, through a therapeutic lens but im not sure the format works

I think it’s very brave (and unique! I’ve never read anything like this) to broadcast your therapy sessions to millions of strangers, but this kind of goes nowhere and it feels very rushed, especially towards the end. I do see myself in her and I relate to a lot of this, but I just wish this was a bit more polished. 

her psychiatrist is ridiculously unhelpful and some of their comments truly border on unprofessionalism with how often they bring up unrelated disorders that clearly stress baek out, and then wave them away like it’s nothing. but you can’t really wave away HPD, schizophrenia, and “adult onset ADHD” (which isn’t in the ICD because it doesn’t exist…so what on earth where they talking about?) to a client who has such low self-esteem and is desperately trying to find a solution to her problem. I hope that if baek is still in therapy, she is seeing a much better doctor.
