Publisher's Synopsis
Do I Need to See a Therapist? provides insight into how we can acknowledge and overcome the fear of being thought mad, weak or helpless.
Why are we wary of seeing a therapist? Could the fear of getting upset be part of the reason? While society as a whole is becoming increasingly conscious of mental health, and the social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic has made the issue ever more salient, the idea of asking for professional help has largely remained taboo.
In this empathetic and practical guide, psychotherapist Donna Maria Bottomley examines these anxieties and argues that therapy should be just as acceptable as going to the doctor for a check-up or booking your car into the garage, and needn't be our last resort.
Do I Need to See a Therapist? provides insight into how we can acknowledge and overcome the dual-fear of not only what we think it means about us if we see a therapist, but the fear of our own emotions themselves.
