Příběhy z pohovky - Psychoterapie v komiksu – Perry Philippa (2022)

Are you thinking about visiting a psychotherapist? Or would you be tempted to be a fly on the wall in their office, where you could quietly observe everything that happens during the sessions? Philippa Perry's comic will show you how therapy works. You'll discover that it's common for both you and your therapist to fall silent during sessions, that if you sometimes don't understand each other, it's not the end of the world, and certainly not the end of therapy. It's normal to feel nervous, anxious, or, on the contrary, exuberant when you suddenly realize what might be behind your difficulties. Therapist Pat, a cat-loving sandal-wearer, begins working with ambitious lawyer James, who was brought to therapy by his constant urge to pocket something without paying for it in stores. Being a lawyer and a kleptomaniac is a bit embarrassing, isn't it? However, Pat definitely does not take a moralistic approach, and although their meetings are not without awkward moments of silence and uncertainty, over time her office becomes a place where James finds answers to some of his questions. He answers them himself; that's how psychotherapy works.
