For far too long, therapy has been considered taboo in our society and shrouded in myth: it is only for the weak or "crazies," it is simply blaming your parents, a therapist "only listens," and so on. Aruna Gopakumar and Yashodhara Lal debunk those myths in this book and demonstrate how therapy actually works. These two therapists, who have decades of combined experience in the field, share fascinating stories from their practise. You'll meet a woman who sends secret messages to her husband during fights; a towering tattooed man who realises he can't save his sister; a teenager whose life is revealed in the story of a lonely bear; a divorced man who is angry with his ex-wife for dating again; and a fiery gay young man.
