- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really liked the author's honesty and sincerity in writing about her life experiences. That must've been hard to do considering she has a clinical practice and may not want to expose all of her secrets. But I appreciated her authentic approach and really learned a lot from her experience. I believe this is the first time I've read an account like this, where a therapist shared the intricacies and struggles of her own relationships. I felt myself being in her shoes and learned how difficult it is to navigate a relationship with someone who is experiencing a different reality. I commend the author's patience, love and dedication towards her spouse and their continuing dance together. Very interesting read and very well-written book!
