About this listen

 Hilarious, honest and helpful. Dr Alex George, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Mind Manual

An informative, funny and absorbing look behind the scenes of the therapy room. I've recommended this to everyone. Rachel Barr, Neuroscientist and author of How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the closed door of the therapist's office? What's revealed there may surprise you.

Psychotherapist Josh Fletcher takes us on a candid and human journey into the individual sessions of four patients - Levi, Zahra, Noah and Daphne - sharing their self-discovery and recovery as they engage in therapy for the first time. And he lets us into the inner thoughts of a therapist, from shock and sympathy while in session, to how it feels to run into a former client on a messy night out.

Interspersed with straight-talking advice on common issues such as anxiety, OCD and panic attacks, as well as a therapist's guide to how to find the right therapist, And How Does That Make You Feel? is darkly funny, illuminating and full of promise that a better future is always possible.

It's everything you wanted to know about therapy (and quite a few things you probably didn't).©2024 Joshua Fletcher (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited Mental Health Mood Disorders Personal Development Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Funny Inspiring Witty Thought-Provoking

I came to this book after reading a glowing review in (I think) the Times and was not disappointed. Written in an engaging yet respectful style, it interweaves a number of therapeutic cases which all in their various ways resolve in satisfying (if not necessarily neat) conclusions. The big question hovering over all this is the process of anonymisation and whether - in the act of concealing (or “scrambling” as the author puts it) the identities of the clients - the details have been changed so much as to render them semi-fictional: for instance if one of the clients really was an A list actor doing a show in Manchester in the past few years then it would be incredibly simple to figure out who this was. Which prompts the question - was she actually an actor or some other figure in the public eye? Has (for instance) the gender been changed? And so on. So I would like to have understood more the principles of this “scrambling”. I’d also be fascinated to know whether the subjects were consulted in advance about their cases being reworked, as presumably they would be able to recognise themselves even in an anonymised form. None of this detracts from the book: Joshua Fletcher inspires confidence as a narrator, and it would be impossible to tell the story of these cases if they weren’t altered. But a little more insight into that process would have been enlightening. Anyhow. I found it hard to stop listening and in the end found myself rationing the book so I didn’t finish it too soon. What better recommendation could there be than that?

I bought this book after seeing a friend post about it on social media. I really enjoyed it - it’s a great insight into the value of therapy, told in a way that is accessible, relatable, funny and entertaining. Thoroughly recommended.

i have started my journey as a therapist after years of being on the other side (helpee) and this book was so refreshing and reassuring. we are all human and it's a relief to hear that therapists are too. After years of trying to "suss" Counsellors out, thinking "how can you be so neutral and together when I am falling apart!?" I now have a much better understanding of who they really are and how they really feel - exactly like the rest of us, just very well trained in the art of helping. This book has helped me reaffirm my trust that I am on the right path, that it's ok to be a slightly broken person when helping others - it makes you more empathic and understanding. Thank you Josh for your contribution and for helping me along the way to achieving my goal.

a must read for therapists in training and anyone who thought therapists were not human!

I liked the different voices inside his head and him talking about his grief. A selection of clients that showed humility from him and eventually them.

Honesty, integrity and kindness

I rarely if ever review a book. As a psychotherapy student, I found this audio book to be a different outlook at the therapy, the relationships and the inner dialogue of the therapist. Inspiring and helpful. Loved it!

Refreshing!

This is a great take on a therapists mind, where the thoughts and feelings come to life to explain their take on a situation with clients. Would highly recommend
