As a therapist - this is a pretty honest reflection of what it's like being a therapist. 

There is nothing ground breaking or new from a professional standpoint. But it is good story telling. 

And yes, clients do impact us in this way. I definitely found myself thinking of my past and present clients and the impacts they've made on me.

This book does it all - provides inviting and relatable insights into what therapy is like, humanizes providers and clients and the vulnerability of each, and is deeply moving in portraying the human experience. Relatable, lovely, and hopeful.

This book took me a while to get through. There were some triggers in it for me that made it difficult to pick up depending on the mood I was in, which, is okay. It addressed these triggers in a really healthy and meaningful way and even though there were many tears, I’m glad I read through these hard parts. This book makes me frustrated that mental health care is not more available to people in Canada, especially me. I don’t have coverage for extended therapy, which I would absolutely benefit from (as would most other people!!). It made me appreciate the relationship between therapist and patient so much more reading about how a therapist interacted with her own therapist. I recommend this book to anyone.

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.
