dark hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

This book was really really good. The topics were incredibly heavy and all five of the clients went through deep trauma and abuse which could be triggering. I really enjoyed the vastly different cases that all come back to the human condition of wanting and needing connections with others. And how your past will haunt you until you face it. Lastly, the authors narration was really interesting to hear the therapists perspective, especially when she shared points that did not make to her clients. I definitely recommend!

[bez oceny]

Ta książka dała mi niesamowicie dużo materiału do poddania refleksji. Trochę nie umiem dobrze oddać słowami tego, co myślę o tej książce, ale była naprawdę bardzo dobra. Historie opisane w książce są bardzo trudne emocjonalnie i niesamowicie jest móc mieć choć częściowo wgląd w to, jak terapia pomogła tym osobom i jak dla nich wyglądał ten proces. Można też zaobserwować zarówno błędy, jak i sukcesy terapeutki w całym tym procesie i czerpać z tego wiedzę, którą można się inspirować jeśli z terapią wiąże się swoją pracę zawodową.
