I loved this book so much I recommended it to my own therapist…

The stories are brilliantly woven together - Lori as patient, Lori as therapist, and the (anonymized) stories of her patients. All experience major growth and a true character arc through their vulnerability. 

The book also shows how vulnerability  is a muscle; we can’t be honest with others until we learn how to be honest with ourselves. 

Also enjoyed the memoir elements about the author’s career changes and major life choices, and how those choices informed her present self. 

Highly recommend and would re-read.

I don't think this was for me. Some things do hit harder when it comes from a different source other than your head, but nothing I haven't thought of before. Lots of skimming and it did make me reflect on people in my life twice. That's all.

I absolutely loved the raw honesty of this book as well as the story itself. I felt very connected to the author and all the rest of the characters as the book progressed. I did however find it kind of long and just wanted it to all wrap up in the last few chapters.
