Good Morning, Monster

An interesting behind the scenes narrative of the stories of 5 patients: not only the stories are well narrated but the therapist also shares her approach to it as well as the mistakes she made along the way.

Careful reading/listening: some elements are quite graphic and can be painfully triggering.

have always been in awe of the resilience of humans, and this books basically compounds my awe. very difficult to read at times, and i skipped a story because it was too traumatic. the author is very candid in sharing where she failed, where she helped and also what was it about her patients that helped them overcome unsurmountable odds.

moral of the story: humans are fucking rockstars.
