Good Morning, Monster: A Therapist Shares Five Heroic Stories of Emotional Recovery
In this fascinating narrative, therapist (and author of the bestselling hit memoir Too Close to the Falls) Catherine Gildiner's presents five of what she calls her most heroic and memorable patients, each presenting their own mystery that took years to unpack.
Moving, insightful, and often very funny, Good Morning, Monster offers an unforgettable, behind-the-scenes look into the therapist's office, illustrating how the therapy process can heal even the most unimaginable wounds.
“Good Morning, Monster highlights our changing cultural values and shifting approach toward psychotherapy. These and other aspects of psychotherapy are increasingly being overlooked and undervalued in our cultural search for easy answers and quick fixes, yet as Gildiner’s work shows, they are indispensable for achieving lasting change.” -- The Winnipeg Free Press
