“Therapy is…Magic: An essential guide to the ups, downs and life-changing experiences of talking therapy”

OUT 4th NOVEMBER 2021: Available for pre-order now

In this part memoir, part mental health resource and how-to guide, Jo Love throws opens the door of her therapist’s office and shines a light on what exactly goes on in the therapy room.

With the help of experts, including her very own therapist, Jo opens a rare window into the real world of therapy, unpicking the magical powers that enabled her to re-find her own voice, restored her resilience through the cloudiest days and ultimately saved her from her own mind.

For too long therapy has been behind closed doors, shrouded in stigma and something we tell ourselves we'll look into eventually and never do. This book seeks to really throw open the doors and show from the client side of the room, what exactly happens when you sit your butt on the therapist's couch and hopefully enable more people to feel better able to reach out and get support (press release with more information attached).

Each chapter includes:

– A therapy list where Jo shares her knowledgeable insights into therapy
– Inspirational voices in the mental health space on the life-changing effects of therapy
– A ‘From the Other Chair’ section featuring expert opinions from mental health professionals
– ‘Need Help Now’ suggestions

Therapy is … Magic moves away from the stigma sometimes associated with seeking help, and shines a light on the emotional and physical benefits of talking therapies. Jo Love shows us that with professional guidance we can heal ourselves and the relationships we have, tackle addictions and trauma, and save our minds.
