An intimate account of therapy told entirely from the patient’s point of view, To Call Myself Beloved offers a compelling window into the complex mix of vulnerability, connection, and power that shapes the therapeutic experience. 

Focusing on the small, human details, she reveals what it is truly like to lay yourself bare, whether one‑to‑one on the couch or in the charged space of a therapy group. To Call Myself Beloved opens up a world that is usually private, making the inner life of therapy newly accessible.
