Good Morning, Monster: A Therapist Shares Five Heroic Stories of Emotional Recov

Description: Good Morning, Monster by Catherine Gildiner As seen on Good Morning Americas SEPTEMBER 2020 READING LIST and FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2020!"We need to read stories about folks who have been through hell and kept going... Fascinating." --Glennon Doyle, A Favorite Book of 2020 on Good Morning America "Gildiner is nothing short of masterful--as both a therapist and writer. In these pages, she has gorgeously captured both the privilege of being given access to the inner chambers of peoples lives, and the meaning that comes from watching them grow into the selves they were meant to be." --Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone In this fascinating narrative, therapist Catherine Gildiners presents five of what she calls her most heroic and memorable patients. Among them: a successful, first generation Chinese immigrant musician suffering sexual dysfunction; a young woman whose father abandoned her at age nine with her younger siblings in an isolated cottage in the depth of winter; and a glamorous workaholic whose narcissistic, negligent mother greeted her each morning of her childhood with "Good morning, Monster." Each patient presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years. They seek Gildiners help to overcome an immediate challenge in their lives, but discover that the source of their suffering has been long buried. As in such recent classics as The Glass Castle and Educated, each patient embodies self-reflection, stoicism, perseverance, and forgiveness as they work unflinchingly to face the truth. Gildiners account of her journeys with them is moving, insightful, and sometimes very funny. Good Morning, Monster offers an almost novelistic, behind-the-scenes look into the therapists office, illustrating how the process can heal even the most unimaginable wounds. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography CATHERINE GILDINER was a clinical psychologist in private practice for twenty-five years.

Review ONE OF Newsweeks 30 THOUGHTFUL BOOKS TO GIFT"Both wrenching and hopeful." --Newsweek "For fans of Lori Gottlieb... a therapist recounts five of her most fascinating patients, with a focus on how heroic they are for overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles." --Business Insider "Affecting... Insightful psychological lessons of special interest to readers on therapeutic journeys of their own." --Kirkus "Heart-wrenching stories... [that] inspire awe for the ways people who suffered horrific abuse were able to find a measure of recovery." --Publishers Weekly "A fascinating memoir...heartwarming, heartbreaking, and inspirational." --Midwest Book Review "Although this book centers on the healing of Gildiners patients, it is also about her own gifts and growth as a therapist... Hats off to Gildiner for doing a heroic therapeutic job and for writing about it so eloquently." --New York Journal "Gildiners subject is heroism--writ large and with poignant specificity in five unforgettable patients lives. Good Morning, Monster will bolster your faith in human endurance, and make you root more fiercely for us all." --Paula McLain, author of Love and Ruin and The Paris Wife "These stories show how the process of therapy can heal even the deepest wound and most traumatic of experiences." --Lee Woodruff "Allows one the privilege of seeing the therapist-patient relationship as an essentially human interaction." --JM Coetzee, Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature "Enthusiastic and insightful" --Toronto Star "As anyone who has sat through a Zoom therapy session knows, theres really no substitute for the real thing. But, the book world is giving it a shot... Good Morning, Monster by Catherine Gildiner is a psychologists retelling of five of her most memorable (and harrowing) cases." --Entertainment Weekly "Brilliant piece of work, both heart-rending and chilling. I was moved to tears... a great book for any time. I had promised myself that I would read one episode for each of five days. Instead I read right through from beginning to end." --Valery Hemingway, author of Running With the Bulls "Like Oliver Sacks, Catherine Gildiner loves her patients... Gildiner is a master of shoot-from-the-hip nonfiction--funny, direct and honest about what she sees in others and what she sees in herself. Highly readable!" --Susan Swan, author of The Wives of Bath "Gildiner is astute, active, pragmatic, and hopeful. She is also very funny. Her wit and her wisdom are gifts shared with these five people--and now with all of us readers." --David S. Goldbloom, co-author of How Can I Help?: A week in My Life as a Psychiatrist "These stories are almost mythic in their power... I couldnt put this book down." --Antanas Sileika, author of Provisionally Yours "Compelling, heart-in-throat stories prove no one is damaged goods. Im in awe of the five patients and of Gildiners exceptional creativity as she guides each one toward emotional freedom." --Rona Maynard, author of My Mothers Daughter Details ISBN1250878330 Author Catherine Gildiner Short Title Good Morning, Monster Pages 368 Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1250878330 ISBN-13 9781250878335 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-01-17 Subtitle A Therapist Shares Five Heroic Stories of Emotional Recovery UK Release Date 2023-01-17 DEWEY 616.8914 Audience General Publisher St Martins Press Imprint St Martins Press Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States US Release Date 2023-01-17 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
