Description
'I loved this witty, insightful journey into the world of psychotherapy' Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path
'I absolutely loved this. Like an Adam Kay for psychotherapy' Frankie Boyle
At the psychologist's clinic of an NHS hospital, Noah needs help with procrastination, Bill compulsively lies, Steph is coping with rejection and their therapist, Dr Natalie Cawley, is dealing with her own emotional crisis, breathing into a paper bag between patient sessions.
In this honest, often poignant and frequently funny memoir about training to be a psychotherapist, we meet the patients grappling with mental health issues, from OCD and addiction to self-deception and toxic relationships, and see how Dr Natalie helps them understand and change these attempts to self-soothe.
Full of lightbulb moments, Just About Coping is a journey into our inner worlds, where the drama of our break-ups, breakdowns and breakthroughs takes place. In times of stress and suffering, Dr Natalie reveals, we are all just about coping. None of us is immune – not even your therapist.

As a Psychotherapist myself, I was deeply moved by this book. Raw, honest and personal. The range of experience, vulnerability and emotion captured was very heartfelt. I'm sure many people will relate to this book and this story is a firm reminder that we are all human. Even Therapists have mental health difficulties throughout life and that is okay. I related alot to Natalie and her care and compassion for her clients. Beautifully written and inspiring. Thank you for the chance to read this before publication. I have recommended this book to both my clients and Therapist friends!
