Inspired Therapist: My inner journey from wannabe to healer
"Wise and real. This book offers a glimpse inside the mind of a therapist who is always pushing himself to be better while keeping the well-being of his clients front and center. The author's authentic and humorous voice comes through in a series of reflections about therapy, what it means to be a therapist, and what it means to live an authentic life. This is a worthwhile read for any therapist or any client who has ever wondered what their therapist is thinking. The quotes that are sprinkled throughout are especially wonderful; many of them were unknown to me and were welcome additions to my knowledge base!"
