Exploring all the different kinds of therapy available, Ariane Sherine offers an entertaining insight into each type, including interviews with celebrities, writers and therapists themselves to help make taking that first step a whole lot easier.

- Real life stories give an honest account of the pros and cons of each form of therapy
- Therapist interviews give an insight into why a counsellor would champion their chosen form of practice
- Features contributions from household names such as Stephen Fry, Charlie Brooker, Dolly Alderton and David Baddiel.

Anger, fear, frustrations, and all other emotions are part of the human experience. They can make you happy, or they can lead to stress. However, these emotions can be healthy when you experience them as well because they give you lessons to live better. Negative thinking is designed to make people feel uncomfortable. It creates stress in your body and mind, which is not only distressing but can also lead to health issues that can be chronic. No one wants to feel the stress that comes with negative thoughts, so it is better to escape from them.

Story
The difficulty and cost of training psychotherapists properly is well known. It is far easier to provide a series of classes while ignoring the more challenging personal components of training. Despite the fact that the therapist's self-insight and emotional maturity are critical for successful psychotherapy, knowledge and technical skills are the focus of most training programs. As a result, the therapist's personal growth is either marginalized or ignored. The Making of a Therapist counters this trend by offering therapists a personal account of this important inner journey.
