About this deal

I will admit the formatting of the conversations between the therapist and author got a little tedious on a technical level. If you're curious about what my coworkers think about on a daily basis with their weak ass sugary mix coffee, here it is. S/he gives intrusive personal advice, doesn't diagnose Baek properly, and doesn't seem to provide any concrete guidance in helping Baek understand her thought processes. They (their gender is never revealed) give advice which in my cultural environment would be highly unprofessional (not to say that it isn’t helpful at all): “Just tell yourself, ‘I won’t drink so much next time’” or “Try to enjoy the present” or “Don’t think about the future too much. the fact that this was a hard story for this author to tell probably proves why it should exist, especially in its native country/language.

Please remember that at the root of it all, to be empathetic is to have at least SOME understanding for why people do what they do and where it comes from. If you're looking for better books that are similarly related to mental health and/or therapy, I'd recommend Lori Gottlieb's Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed (nonfiction). Who would want to hear such indulgent, cringey confessions normally meant only for the nonjudgmental ears of a medical professional — and who would have the gall to publish their own? I wanted to enjoy this book, but found reading it to be difficult, as the majority of its pages contained transcriptions from the author’s therapy sessions.After initiating therapy with a psychiatrist, the author began to record her sessions, and the bulk of this book consists of transcriptions of their discussions about her depression and pervasive self-criticism. BookBrowse seeks out and recommends the best in contemporary fiction and nonfiction—books that not only engage and entertain but also deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

He is the winner of a PEN Translates grant and a PEN/Heim Translation Fund grant, among many others, and his translations include Kyung-Sook Shin's Violets, Bora Chung's Cursed Bunny, and Sang Young Park's Love in the Big City. America is far past this surface-leveled interest of wellness since our Woody Allen women who all went to shrinks and even our YoutubeBetterHelpsponsoredGetYour10%Off! Born in 1990, Baek Seheestudied creative writing in university before working for five years at a publishing house.

I also wanted to feel comfortable, to feel safe, to speak and laugh, but my words just crumbled in my mouth. Es geht um das Ergründen der Ursachen von Gefühlen und alten Verhaltensmustern, die sie mit Hilfe der Therapie umpolen kann. Nevertheless, I saw myself in Baek's lived experiences, and I still enjoyed the candid way she dealt with her feelings and reactions.

Dan kadang banyak spasi renggang (mungkin karena tipe dialog, beberapa kata yang nggak dipenggal bikin renggangnya jadi nggak nyaman dibaca). each chapter consists of a transcription of part of a therapy session, with reflections before and after. I don't know if some meanings were lost in translation, but instead of delivering the "intimate therapy memoir" it was marketed as, this book ended up being messy and all over the place, without any clear organisation or direction. The reason for her decision to open up her sessions to the wider world is to show others who may be suffering from similar issues that they’re not alone.It made me realize that reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, but a courageous step toward getting better.

it was inspirational to see how i could advocate for myself/my experiences, and i thought the nuance was interesting that depression doesn't always mean being suicidal and it can manifest in other ugly ways. Her therapist becomes a guiding light, showing that it’s okay to seek help, that it’s a brave thing to do. For a book that supposedly lays it all out, it lacked depth in terms of allowing the reader to step into the author's experiences with her struggles with her mental health (examples of books I read recently that did this well: The Limits of My Language: Meditations on Depression by Eva Meijer, Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me: Depression in the First Person by Anna Mehler Paperny). The South Korean runaway bestseller, debut author Baek Sehee's intimate therapy memoir, as recommended by BTS.it's short and easy to inhale, and in translation the writing style is very straightforward and simplistic. Baek Sehee] uses months of (real) transcripts from her therapy sessions to explore her own depression and anxiety, always tiptoeing toward something like self-awareness. I Want To Die But I Want To Eat Tteokpokki adalah esai yang berisi tentang pertanyaan, penilaian, saran, nasihat, dan evaluasi diri yang bertujuan agar pembaca bisa menerima dan mencintai dirinya. In ihrem Inneren ist Baek ängstlich, verzweifelt und niedergeschlagen und begibt sich daher in eine Therapie, denn es kostet sie viel Kraft diese Fassade aufrechtzuerhalten. I think the barrier to entry for this book for Westerners, too, is not understanding how stigmatized all of this is for Koreans.
