The Angry Therapist: A No BS Guide to Finding and Living Your Own Truth

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. Lets 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 whats right with them instead of whats 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.
