Following on from
best-selling The School of Life: An Emotional Education (2020), A
Therapeutic Journey compiles extracts from some of our recent titles
and describes the arc of a journey - from breakdown and collapse to
convalescence and recovery. It is intended as both a practical guide and a source
of consolation and friendship during what might be some of our loneliest, most
anguished moments.

The book discusses becoming unwell, imagining that one has let
everyone down and losing direction and hope. It also speaks to us about
redemption: about regaining the thread, rediscovering meaning and finding a way
back to connection, warmth and joy.

A Therapeutic Journey is ultimately, a book about resilience. It insists that we
cannot allow terror, self-hatred and sadness to have their victories over us
and that we can always, so long as we think matters through with sufficient
creativity and gentleness, identify reasons to live.
