About this audiobook
Sometimes therapy is awkward. And sometimes, it's also painful, messy, and downright confusing. Yet, very few books capture what it's genuinely like to engage in this work. Instead, most books paint a picture-perfect ideal of psychotherapists and their abilities to support their clients.
This guide chronicles the strange nuances of working in mental health in the modern world. Sometimes Therapy Is Awkward provides refreshingly candid insight into what it takes to feel more confident and prepared to help others. Arzt offers stories, jokes, and action-based solutions for coping with excruciating insecurities, improving clinical skills, navigating the workplace, setting healthy and effective boundaries, managing burnout and compassion fatigue, and understanding mental health treatment in the modern world.
Using introspection and humor, Arzt offers a practical roadmap for aspiring therapists, new therapists, and any therapist who identifies with feeling afraid or uncomfortable in their work.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing book. I learned so much about self-compassion and the importance to remember that therapists are humans too, with wonderful flaws that make us who we are.
