Really, really enjoyed this book.
I've never kicked a patient or danced with one, but I've played guitar and explained how to do something in html. This is an easy to read explanation of what psychotherapy is like which I only picked up because a patient of mine was reading it. I'm glad she is because it often seems that she has no idea what we're doing during a session and reading this may help somewhat.
I'm a little mistrusting of the author who I suspect would edit her "true" stories to make them better but other times I'm envious of how she claims her treatments have gone.
A decently insightful read about the process of therapy. The therapist is dripping with privilege in talking about this "the thing holding you back is you" trope. Luckily, the client stories are endearing.
This book was the perfect book for me at the perfect time. I needed to read this. I'd recommend it to pretty much everyone.
