I have always wondered what's it like to be inside a therapist's mind and how it affects them and in what way. Mental health cannot be categorised and put into seperate boxes and given to patients for cure. It is complex and it affects everyone differently and so each one of the patients should be given therapy/ counseling differently according to their needs. To buy a sentence from Lori herself, 'There's no hierarchy of pain. Suffering shouldn't be ranked because pain is not a contest.' The same can be applied for mental illness in general. We can't neglect someone's mental health because you think they look fine outside. Even their facial expressions can betray what they are going through inside and each one of our personalities has layers like onions and in order to understand someone deeply, we have to remove every barriers layer by layer and that's where therapists are specialised in.

Human mind and personality always fascinates me to no end hence this book served me well. Lori has not only showed us the lives and therapies of her patients but also her own. This is my favourite Nonfiction at the moment. It was so good and I would recommend it especially those who are more into psychology and therapy. Also, everyone, to know maybe we all should talk to someone about what is haunting us when the room goes silent.
