Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life
by Christie Tate
It’s hard to know what to make of this. She’s self-centered and shallow and destructive, but she gets called out on all her crap and she learns how to be vulnerable - so much that she wrote the whole thing out and published it for a bunch of strangers to argue over on the internet.
I appreciated the insights into connection and emotion and how feeling feelings is raw and can be challenging and how progress doesn’t usually feel like progress.
I’ll forget all the details of her toxic relationships and all the bad sex she chooses to have to sabotage her desire for real connection, and I’ll look sideways at the “healing” of a person who chooses to spend hours in therapy every week in perpetuity…
Would I recommend it? Doubtful. Unless you need to learn not to be scared of emotion and you can benefit from seeing that someone is worse than you at it. If she can do it, you definitely can.
