Almost a psychologist. What the therapist is silent about while listening to your stories

Psychotherapy is one of the strangest activities: once a week, for your own money, a person comes to meet with what they have been running away from for so long. Sitting across from you is a person: they are neither your friend, nor a parent, nor even a spiritual mentor. Your relationship is called "therapeutic" - open, accepting, honest. But as soon as you try to ask what this "honest" therapist is writing down, or confess that you want to be friends with them, you will see a whole range of horror on their face.
The strangeness of psychotherapy and how I learned (and will unfortunately continue to learn forever) this strange craft are dedicated to 4 stories of my clients and our work together.

If the book seems strange to you, it means it was successful!
