A very informative and moving read. It was easier to follow than Maybe you should talk to someone as the ‘case studies’ were clearly segmented, it was also less about the therapist’s own life. However, the characters had more triggering and extreme issues that made reading difficult at times. Would caution all to read up on the content warnings before proceeding.

I was fascinated by the story after a recommendation from a friend, and I was taken aback by how harrowing some of the case studies were. The book is a brilliant study on the depravity of some humans, but also tells of our resilience and ability to overcome adversity, sometimes with a little help along the way.

 I savor all of the books that have been coming out lately surrounding therapy. The therapist’s account on a variety of patients and how they cope is so informative. I love learning about emotions. I am like a sponge every time I read a book like this. All 5 patients in the book were outstanding stories to read. 
Graphic swearing and graphic emotions when patients express their emotions.
