Waking Up: Climbing Through the Darkness

Rating:
Summary: Excellent account of psychotherapy process
Review: Waking Up is a powerful description of the intense psychotherapeutic experience of a client struggling to recover from serious losses. This account from the patient's perspective illustrates how a determined and caring therapist helps a struggling, but also determined client to work through childhood abuse, death of a spouse, substance abuse, and suicide crises. In the process, it provides a primer on effective collabortive therapy.

Summary: Bravo Ms. Wise
Review: Well-told story of a woman's journey back to sanity from the terribly place of depression. We can forget that we only think one thought at a time, and we can choose which thought we wish to think. When we remember it, just small changes of thought and consequent behavior can turn our lives entirely around. Bravo Ms. Wise.
