For readers with no knowledge of Freud and related terms, this was helpful. She drops psychological terms once in a while, defines them then goes on to give a practical example using whichever patient she was describing. The book is well-paced, except for the last chapter which I felt was dragged out. The author writes in straightforward English which I appreciated a lot considering I left a lot of books half-read before this one. Reading about her pain and her growth was motivational enough for me. I breezed through Sections 1–3, but I couldn't get through Alana’s story without taking breaks as I often got overwhelmed by her story and particularly, her father’s cunningness.
The most fascinating of the 5 stories for me was Alana.
Laura, Peter, Danny, Alana and Madeline all have very different emotional/psychological problems that she details and helps them through. And in ‘Good Morning, Monster’, she talks about 5 of her most *fantastic patients and how they made strides into emotional recovery. SummaryĬatherine Gildiner is a Canadian therapist with years of experience and teaching. She penned one of my top 5 memoirs ever in “Maybe you should talk to someone” so her recommending this was a big deal for me.Īnd in all, the book did not disappoint. I picked up this book only because there was a Lori Gottlieb foreword.
