And How Do You Feel About That?: Breakdowns and Breakthroughs in the Therapy Room

Ever wondered what REALLY happens in the therapy room? For too long, therapy has been seen as taboo in our society and is shrouded in myth--it's only for the weak or 'crazies', it's just blaming your parents, a therapist 'only listens' and so on. In this book, Aruna Gopakumar and Yashodhara Lal bust those myths and show you how therapy actually works. With decades of combined experience in the field, these two therapists share fascinating stories based on their practice. You'll meet the woman who sends secret messages to her husband during arguments; the towering tattooed man who realizes he can't save his sister; the teenager whose life is revealed in the tale of a lonely bear; the divorced man angry with his ex-wife for starting to date again; the fiery gay young man impatient to change the world; the lady who won't relax until her daughter is perfect; and many more. Written with authenticity, warmth, simplicity, and lightness, And How Do You Feel About That brings you an understanding of the world of possibilities that opens up when we embark on an inner exploration - in dialogue with another.
