I had a hard time with this one, perhaps because my expectations did not match reality and my damned stubbornness to always finish what I start forced me to push my way through it. I thought this was going to be fun flubs and it was very serious philosophical discussions.

A great read! It's refreshing to read about the humanity in the psychotherapist, so often misconceived as the saviour, this book shows how the psychotherapist gets the most rewarding experience out of being vulnerable, and showing their human side.
