The Maids | Litsy

The Maids | Junichiro Tanizaki

Today was my first psychoanalysis session. I had no idea what to expect. Let's just say a box of Kleenex later, I feel a whole lot more aware of who I am and why I think the way I do. So of course, treated myself to some book love. A new journey journal, too. I rarely buy books full price at the bookstore, but decided on this Tanizaki, which is a retelling of the Makioka Sisters from the perspective of the maids. #bookhaul

EvieBee @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen @mcipher @LeahBergen @BarbaraBB @Notafraidofwords @8leagueboot @vivastory @saresmoore @Booksandcooks @Jas16 @TheWordJar @Jess_Read_This Thank you all soooo much! 💞💕 I hadn't realized that I read so much to understand and/or change outcomes. Makes a lot of sense. My therapist is amazing and a fellow bookworm. 😊 Just when you think you've got everything figured out, turns out you know nothing. Lol! 8y

EvieBee @shawnmooney I adore The Makioka Sisters so much, Shawn! I can't wait for you to finish it. I had no idea about this book either until I saw it on the shelf today. The dust jacket says that it was his last "lost" novel that is now finally translated. I think you need to treat yo self to a copy when you're finished. Xx (edited) 8y

EvieBee @ReadOrDieRachel @batsy Thank you 😊❤️ 8y

Mimi28 Therapy is hard but don't give up. I haven't gone all summer but my therapist understands my social anxiety and we have sessions over the phone. I'm glad you found a good therapist also. Good luck 👍🍀❤️❤️❤️ 8y

EvieBee @Mimi28 Thank you so much, Mimi! I had no idea that it would be challenging, my doctor just recommended it and I finally agreed after 6 months of considering it. Can't wait to go back in 2 weeks. But the homework. Lol! It's tough. 😊 8y

Mimi28 No problem ❤️❤️❤️I have been in therapy quite a while. It's good you are enthusiastic about it and are brave enough to explore yourself in such a way. It can seem scary at first, but don't get discouraged. It's also awesome that you are starting off with someone you like and who challenges you. It takes some people a long time to find a good therapist. 8y

andrew61 Hope all goes well. 8y
