I've had many false starts with psychotherapy, but have never actually had a T that I liked and could see for an extended period of time. Recently, I decided that I want to make getting quality therapy a top priority and have started making plans to save money for it and find a rock star T.

In my research, I found someone a while back who seems absolutely perfect. He's male, which is sort of important to me for reasons I'll discuss if anyone is interested. He specializes in all of the things that I believe my issues/symptoms stem from. He wrote a book on said topic, which I read and it now holds a place of honour on my nightstand. I even wrote an amazon review which I'd like to share here since I'm completely secretive about my therapy obsession in my day-to-day personal life. Anyway, I hope that my potential future T reads my review and is able to laugh at it and I hope whoever reads it here will be amused as well. Oh, and in case you're wondering, I used an alias:

I bought this book because I thought the topic would be interesting and the author seemed like a very engaging speaker - It was, and he is, but after having read it, I came to some uncomfortable revelations about myself and my own history, after which my hair turned grey, I developed a stutter, and now I can't eat dairy... Okay, those last three things aren't true, and the suggestion that I was previously unaware of my insecure attachment style is dishonest as well. All joking aside, I found that this book gave me some valuable insight into my own condition and provided an interesting glimpse into the world of psychotherapy from the perspective of the clinician. The writing is very clear and accessible, and the case examples are compelling and with well-considered significance. In reading this book, I had hoped that the idea of actually trusting a therapist might seem less complicated and threatening afterward. I was not disappointed.
