Quite liked the postscript section and the sections after the therapy transcripts but this just proved that self-help ish books are not for me

I was expecting more depth to this book. Every topic they touched on which I believed could have been interesting they never delved deeper on, and the therapist in the conversations if anything seemed a bit dismissive. The writing just seemed a little lazy, because the short passages of prose were well written, but the majority of the book was just transcripts from the (poorly delivered) therapy sessions.

I was really excited to read this book as someone who has been treated for depression and anxiety - and had a rocky go of it. But I found it to be kind of lacklust and boring, and I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe because I felt like I'd already had similar conversations and revelations with my own therapist? I don't know.
