Group on How a Therapist and a Group of Strangers Saved My Life by Christie Tate.
The refreshingly original debut memoir of an overly accomplished young lawyer who reluctantly agrees to group therapy and is psychologically and emotionally nude in a room with six total strangers.
Christie Tate has just been named the top student in her law school class. Finally got my eating disorder under control. Then she drove through Chicago fantasizing about her own death? Do you imagine ending the isolation and sadness that still haunts you despite the achievements?
Dr. Rosen, a calm therapist assures her that if she joins one of his psychotherapy groups, he can change her life. About everything – her eating habits, childhood, sexual history, etc. Christie is skeptical, insisting that she is defective, incurable. But Dr. Rosen offers a 9-word prescription that will change everything.
She embarks on a journey into the strange, terrifying, and ultimately life-changing world of group therapy. Christie initially disobeyed Dr. Rosen’s strange instructions. When her defenses are broken and she trusts Dr. Rosen and depends on prescribed nightly sessions and phone calls with various team members, she begins to understand what it means. its meaning.
