Firstly, big thanks to @booxies.au and @bare_therapy for hosting a giveaway in which I was the recipient! I then purchased a gift box for a friend recovering from back surgery, and the experience was fabulous, personalised and curated. I recommend them.

Paperback Therapy is excellent as not everyone can afford therapy, it's the reason the book came to be. This issue is highlighted, it's a comprehensive guide in looking after yourself, and for those wanting to be there for others. Last night I took a photo of an example of boundaries in the workplace which resonated with me. Whether you really need to attend certain meetings, or if you can just get the notes so you can protect your time.

It's clear the author has lived experience, and that she is a therapist herself. Written in plain language, making the book a helpful tool and excellent reference guide. Containing fields to be used as a workbook in a simplistic way, this is a straightforward and measurable way to help yourself.

Small case studies in the size of a paragraph show examples of real life struggles which will be helpful to readers, and a list of common therapy terms is a thoughtful idea also. I think this is a thoughtful resource, the author has even had the foresight to draft a template in how to word a message to a therapist for an initial communication. In times of great stress one can't always think clearly or succinctly.

This book doesn't cross the lines of being authoritative, it's a helpful guide, and I think the author's empathy shows brightly. Recommended to those struggling, or people wanting to help, and to those in the front lines of any client focused area. It's ok to ask people if they are ok, Paperback Therapy guides you on how to do this along with so much more.

Decided I’m not really going to rate non-fiction anymore unless I feel a very strong type of way about it. But this was good!

[Cattybutler · Rating 5 out of 5]

This isn’t really a read through in one go type book. It’s more of a tackle in stages working through sections as need arises. A great resource for anyone who is wishing for mental well being or therapy tools but cannot currently access regular therapy sessions in their life. Pragmatic and common sense approaches with lots of hands on options to explore.

as somebody who has seen counsellors and was a bit confused about the things they used to say to me, this helped clear things up! i also appreciate how easy it is to understand. the exercises are simple but get you thinking about how to healthily process feelings + get thinking about your mental wellbeing. bless ❤️

Will recommend this to everyone, a really useful tool for learning about and caring for your mental health and the that of those around you.

[Sophie Blunt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Outstanding. Easy to digest and very practical. Whether you think you need mental health help or not, everyone can benefit from this book at its tools. It's gym for the mind.

[Karen Ramirez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es bueno para conocer sobre la terapia, aún que se centra más en Australia, me gustaría que fuera más general

[Kara · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Paperback Therapy aims to fight stigma by explaining how therapy works and normalising mental health fluctuations, while also making therapists insights more accessible and affordable"

CBT, DBT, ACT ... WTF?
Goal setting and the stages of change
Self-esteem and living by your values
Connecting with your inner child
Managing interpersonal relationships
Setting and maintaining boundaries

[Jeen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ive tried to read so many self help books, i only ever finished one book and even that didn't stick with me. But this book was so informative and helpful. I found myself relating to so many things throughout the book and tips suggested do help. The book was short and straight to the point; the author didn't try to extend the book with nonsense
