A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK AND INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, this debut memoir offers a refreshingly original perspective on the journey of a guarded, high-achieving young lawyer who, in a psychotherapy group, learns to embrace vulnerability and human connection. Christie Tate, recently named the top student in her law school class and managing her eating disorder, finds herself driving through Chicago, plagued by thoughts of death and isolation despite her accomplishments. Enter Dr. Rosen, a therapist who invites her to join a group that promises transformation through honesty about her life experiences. Initially skeptical and believing she is beyond help, Christie receives a pivotal nine-word prescription: “You don’t need a cure. You need a witness.” This marks the beginning of her exploration into the often daunting world of group therapy. As Christie navigates her initial reluctance and Dr. Rosen’s unconventional methods, she gradually learns to trust both him and her fellow group members. The memoir captures her humorous, painful, and ultimately hopeful journey, offering readers an intimate look at the transformative power of connection and the healing that can emerge from shared experiences in therapy.
