Description

'Like an Adam Kay for psychotherapy' – Frankie Boyle

'I loved this witty, insightful journey into the world of psychotherapy' – Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path

At the psychologist's clinic of an NHS hospital, Noah needs help with procrastination, Bill compulsively lies, and Steph is coping with rejection. Meanwhile, their therapist, Dr. Natalie Cawley, is dealing with her own emotional crisis, breathing into a paper bag between patient sessions.

In this honest, often poignant, and frequently funny memoir about training to be a psychotherapist, we meet the patients grappling with mental health issues. From OCD and addiction to self-deception and toxic relationships, Dr. Natalie helps them understand and change these attempts to self-soothe.

Full of lightbulb moments, Just About Coping is a journey into our inner worlds, where the drama of our break-ups, breakdowns, and breakthroughs takes place. In times of stress and suffering, Dr. Natalie reveals, we are all just about coping. None of us is immune – not even your therapist.
