The Angry Therapist

De: John Kim

Narrado por: John Kim

Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-style designer, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living.

Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong.

When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of ""me too"" as opposed to ""you should."" He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.

Felt Like the Therapist Was Sitting Next 2 Me

Very helpful and concise recording. John Kim made his book very comprehensive, relatable, and compelling. Got right to the point without unnecessary over intellectualization. His warm compassionate demeanor really came through.

John Kim hits the target every time

You will not regret reading this one! Simple concepts applied in an unique style!

Really good book !!

Definitely felt like I needed some of the words here. Everything is straight up and to the point glad I reed this

Amazing listen, bought the book for my shelf!

An amazing straightforward, non sugar coated way to tell me how to get my life together. I needed this, and I’m thinking about it every day.

Very Relateable

John's rawness is what captured me. Not only have I been applying this to my own life, ironically, but as a fellow Therapist, I also work with my clients with supporting them through this journey of acceptance and owning their lives in order to be able to fully embrace themselves holistically. I appreciate every single chapter in this book and all that they share. This one is a MUST on our bookshelves/audio.
