Most people don't realize how much unresolved emotional pain they carry around. They don't know why they always feel depressed, anxious, victimized, or disappointed. They wonder why they keep making the same self-sabotaging impulsive decisions. These patterns often stem from their lost inner child, which carries a false narrative that has been on repeat since childhood.

While society as a whole is becoming increasingly conscious of mental health, and the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic has made the issue ever more salient, the idea of asking for professional help has largely remained taboo. In this empathetic and practical guide, drawing on some of the latest studies in the field, psychotherapist Donna Maria Bottomley examines these anxieties and argues that therapy should be just as acceptable as going to the doctor for a check-up or booking your car into the garage, and needn’t be our last resort.

This groundbreaking text goes to the very heart of the therapeutic meeting between therapist and client.

Alain de Botton hat einen empathischen Begleiter für diese herausfordernden Lebensabschnitte geschrieben: Wie gehen wir freundlich und fürsorglich mit uns um, wenn Besserung in weiter Ferne scheint? Welche kleinsten Veränderungen und Kniffe helfen, den entscheidenden Unterschied zu machen? Wie stärken wir unsere Resilienz? Wie finden wir unseren Weg aus der Krise?

Research suggests that the presence of the therapist, and how the therapist truly forges a connection with the client in therapy, are the most crucial factors affecting the client’s healing process. An engaged, committed, caring therapist who is mindful of his or her own self - and how that self relates to the client - is the key determinant of how well that client will respond to therapy.
