I really enjoyed Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and this had the same vibe. I feel the client stories in this one are more graphic, but not for shock factor. It is made clear that even after tremendous adversity, it is possible to come out the other side. I found myself cheering for people I have never met. Many times I was surprised by my unintentional nodding when relatable feelings were shared. I highly recommend giving it a listen on audiobook!

eurybia's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

Let me start by saying I don't think this book should be compared to "Maybe you should talk to somebody" in any way. Yes, both books are about a psychologist telling you about their cases but that's honestly were the similarities end in my opinion.
While "Maybe you should talk to somebody" takes a more humorous approach, this book can be incredibly dark at times. I would definitely recommend checking out the trigger warnings ahead of time as a lot of these heroes have experienced everything under the sun. 
Now about this book specifically, I think it did what it set out to do. It was a very interesting case study that explored the strength of the human mind. On numerous occasions I was deeply disturbed and deeply touched by the things this book explored. 
Overall, definitely proceed with caution. However, if you are interested in psychology this is absolutely worth a read.
