About this listen

'Extraordinary. The psychology world has found its own Adam Kay.' Dr Sophie Mort, clinical psychologist & Sunday Times bestselling author of A Manual for Being Human

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).

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

'Raw and honest. It will change the way you think about and treat your own mental health.' Dr Nicole LePera, New York Times number one bestselling author of How to Do the Work

'An amazing and important book. Practical, profound, entertaining and enlightening.' Cathy Rentzenbrink, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Last Act of Love©2024 Joshua Fletcher (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Insightful, intense and light-hearted

A beautiful balance of serious and humour. Josh takes you on a journey, multiple journeys in fact, with informative and intense insights into therapy while managing to keep it refreshing and delicately funny.

Brilliantly written

As a former therapist, I found this book amazing, it captures the process superbly, I wish this had been around when I was still practicing. Beautifully written, brilliantly narrated and brutally honest.

The accuracy.

As a new therapist I really enjoyed this find it really reassuring as I could see this in myself during sessions. I recommend this witty version of ourselves to other therapists

Beautiful!

A really engaging book, it was fascinating to consider how both therapist and client "feel", and how I felt listening. A real mix of funny, moving, dark and relatable. Brilliant!

Joshua is a therapist that I would like to have

This book gives a real insight into what therapy is all about. How anxiety can affect people from all backgrounds & in so many different ways.

Compulsive listening

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?

Great book, funny, interesting - and eye opening

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.
