Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life by Christie Tate

3.0

---

I always struggle with any criticism of someone telling their own story, because why would you challenge an author's reality? That being said, this one struck me as so outlandish that I found it hard to believe it all happened. The relationship between the author and the therapist came off as inappropriate and unethical at times because personally, I have been conditioned to believe therapy is completely confidential. It felt odd to me that seemingly everyone in the City knew the author's therapist and/or personal business. I am glad to have read the book and if I could give it a 3.5, I would.
