This was a little boring and the writing is not very good, it feels a bit al over the place. I felt I could relate to some stuff that was said but at the same time it was really hard to connect with her.

It was fine but I didn’t love it even though I wanted to love it. I very much appreciated the honesty and vulnerability of the author and I was cheering for her but ultimately I found myself rushing to finish it for the sake of finishing it and not finding a lot of a-ha moments in this memoir.

I think this is a book that you either love or hate. I read a lot of negative reviews just before I started reading. So I went in with very low expectations and I guess that’s why I ended up not hating it.
It is essentially a memoir about the authors experience and therapy sessions. You can see the therapist is holding back slightly with her responses (which she also acknowledges herself in the book). But I think as someone who’s always wondering whether I should go see a therapist, I found it quite insightful. Glad that I’m not the only one with these thoughts and feelings and moods.
Although I enjoyed it, I’m not sure if I would read the next book. I’m not huge into self help books, which this wasn’t. But I just find it hard to concentrate on a book when I keep thinking about my own life experiences and reflecting on my own relationships/word etc 🤣

As a school counselor, I wish I could recommend this to my high school students or to anyone with little to no experience in the mental health realm who has the question “*Why* try therapy?” Personally, I found Baek’s reflections outside of therapeutic transcriptions to be the most insightful piece.

I think the therapist was great- I found myself tagging a lot of lines that I related to and felt insightful. However I felt confused by the format of the book itself. The “end note” by the therapist with the epilogue made me think it was over but then the micro-essays… I largely skimmed them, as I didn’t know what to do with the information now that the therapy was “over”.
