Just About Coping: A Real-Life Drama from the Psychotherapist's Chair


Add your own review!

Overview

At the psychologist's clinic of an NHS hospital, Noah needs help with procrastination, Bill compulsively lies, Steph is coping with rejection and their therapist, Dr Natalie Cawley, is dealing with her own emotional crisis, breathing into a paper bag between patient sessions. In this lively and honest memoir of training to be a psychotherapist, we meet the patients grappling with mental health issues, from OCD and addiction to self-deception and self-harming, and see how Dr Natalie helps them understand and change these attempts to self-soothe. Funny, poignant and full of 'aha' moments, Just About Coping is a journey into our inner worlds, where the drama of our break-ups, breakdowns and breakthroughs takes place. In times of stress and suffering, Dr Natalie reveals, we are all just about coping. None of us is immune - not even your therapist.

I absolutely loved this. Like an Adam Kay for psychotherapy, Dr Natalie Cawley opens up the closed world of therapy so well, with humour, honesty and fascinating insights. -- Frankie Boyle Cawley treats phobias, PTSD and porn addiction - while battling her own demons. . . [She] writes engagingly about the darker aspects of life . . . The disclosures are as diverse as they are diverting. * The Sunday Times *
