Title: Inside Story
Product review: I am a psychologist dealing with suicidal patients every day and I am always looking for ways to get through to them. I liked this book so much that I bought a copy to loan out to my patients. As you can tell from the title, the author has a good sense of humor, but she deals seriously with the challenges that she faced and other suicidal individuals face. She shows that she's been there and she is not handing out easy answers. She really knows how suicidal individuals think and function. I found her story uplifting because she was sick for so long that one would be tempted to give up hope for her, and yet she clearly has come out the other side. I also liked that she explains that it was a long process, no overnight flash of insight, and that she still needs to keep vigilant for slipping back into old habits. She's not promising that one day life will be a bed of roses. The advice she gives is practical and sensible from my 30 years of experience in mental health.
