A therapist explores grief and loss in this dual-narrative memoir, which blends the personal and the professional.
A dual-narrative memoir in which qualified psychotherapist Sasha Bates draws from her professional experience of grief, trauma and PTSD, while also navigating these things first hand following her husband's death.
A really powerful book. I hadn't read a book before that melds the professional, as a psychotherapist, and the personal, as someone that lost their partner. Sasha's book covers the course of one year since she lost her husband Bill, where she describes how she feels and tries to apply what she has learnt as a therapist. She explores the times when that really exposes the shortcomings of grief counselling, and how incapable anything is really at helping you navigate this absence. I've never read anything like that, a mixture of the practical and the emotional.
