Love's Executioner

Wow — this really made me get back into nonfiction.

It's interesting, part of me is skeptical of how much the author has fictionalised these accounts to paint himself as an incredible therapist (which he obviously has written himself as).

I was often left asking ‘what truly happened in this interaction' or ‘what were the original words of the dream', but understand the need to make refinements and to take artistic liberty for the sake of communicating story & purpose.

It was deeply insightful - and revealed a lot to me about the patient / therapist relationship & why I am engaged in it/what I am seeking.

Additionally, it's helped open up a world around death and making a mental note that it's a topic i'd like to keep thinking about and exploring.
