Joshua Fletcher

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Having been to a few therapists myself over the years (PTSD, anxiety, depression), I always wondered what they were thinking as I spilled my feelings. Did they think I was weird? Am I an anomaly? How do they know what to say/do?
Thankfully, Fletcher has written this book to explain it all. How therapy works (or doesn't), how there's not a one size fits all category of therapist, what they are trying to do to help us. And, lo and behold, they're not invincible to the same feelings./disorders as us.
He does this through telling about several case studies. ALL of them were fascinating! And his methods of trying to pull out of us what the problem's roots are.
And he discusses his own problems too! His own personal demons and foibles. How he tries to work through them. And all with a sense of humor that I found to be appreciated.
All in all, the book left me with the confidence that, if I ever needed therapy again, I would be much more secure and less apprehensive about it.
I encourage people to read this. You'll feel better about yourself!… (más)
