Interesting read if you're curious about how counseling works. The footnotes were very useful to understand the process. They also put things into perspective by reminding us that a counselor/psychotherapist is human, and as such not always perfect, and that's okay.
Here we follow one patient. It would have been really, really nice to have different patients with different pathologies/problems.

Full of interesting insights, I have appreciated a few thought-provoking nuggets, but it‘s all too scattered to feel invested in. I‘m going to move onto the graphic audio of Iron Flame that just came through on Libby 😂
